2007 Toyota Camry CE manual transmission. Changed cabin filter and while reinserting the thin black filter cover it slipped and entered the filter housing. I had simply pulled down the glove box, took off the black cover inserted the new filter and tried to reapply the cover. I can reach the tip but I can not pull it out. The bottom of the filter housing is covered and no way to get in. I have replaced the filter before without a problem. I have read about and seen this filter replaced and the thin black cover removed and replaced. The cover dropping into the filter housing never came up. Suggestions appreciated?
Under topic I intended to say cabin air filter cover slipped into filter housing I did not know how to edit.
fish it out with a piece of stiff wire or long needle nose pliers.
alternatively, cover the opening with black tape and call it a day.
Good idea, it is certainly worth trying and the tape might well be a last resort measure. Thanks!

Or borrow your partner’s tweezers.
cover the opening with black tape
And pray no whistling noises emanate..
