I was removing the hex screws securing the radio unit. All was fine except for the bottom right which is postioned far back. I had loosened it with a phillips and was reaching in blind to remove it, pulling it out between my fingers and it fell...somewhere! I didnt hear it drop and the screw with washer isnt small. It didnt come out on the carpet of the passenger side. I'd prefer not to take out all the trim below to track it down. Can an suitable screw and washer be easily obtained from a hardware store? Any worries leaving the original in the back?

Probably fell down behind the center console..you might be able to reach for it where the carpet ends up by your feet.. If not, it shouldn't be a problem..Yeah, just take one of the other screws with you to kinda match it up. It can be a little longer if needed.

It's not brass. It is steel, but it is anodized, or some such similar corrosion prevention coating.

remove the lower shifter console. it comes off fairly easy. (first timers). i dropped mine in the first time i removed the radio too. didn't find it untill i had to remove the shifter console. then i went ahead and put it back.
