You could use a very strong magnet from the other side of the windshield. It ain't iron but nickel is still a ferromagnetic metal.

 

I am more of a Deep Purple Highway Star sort of theme song guy.

 

Yeah that will work...

 

My concern on this is, even being careful with a wire or other metal tool of any kind, the possibility of scratching the dash. I bet Randy is as particular about minor details on his hot rod as I am on mine.

 

Just have the windshield removed by a professional. Get the nickel, clean the area and reinstall the windshield.

 

I just want to know what kind of car that is? Not a car buff but Love older cars!

 

pencil eraser. or rubber glove with a popsicle stick/shim inside. should give you enough 'tack' without scratching or leaving residue.

 

There are always many ways to go about it, I think everyone covered them, I recommended what always works for me, as an automotive technician for 30 years, these are request by customers that are pretty much freebies, ive tried every way that does not work also, every situation is different. of course the coins in you 1700$ navigation radio from your kids, will cost a pretty penny.

 

If you could put the car on jacks high enough to get even a slight incline leaning away from the corner, and use a random orbital sander on the dash (no sandpaper!) you may be able to vibrate it out.

 

I'd like to know more specifics about the vehicle, make/model/year/engine, how long you've owned it, etc. etc.

 

Very pretty!

 

Lol! The car!

 

Be sure to post a photo with the stuck duct tape and popsicle stick next to the coin.

 

Lol

 

Not when it's alloyed with copper, unfortunately.

 

I was unsure. I posted a magnet. I guess I don’t quite get how the metal detecting works when wheats are found etc. I would hate to scratch it but the stick and tape makes sense. Won’t scratch.
