    We see this problem all the time at work. Unfortuneately its not a simple fix. Bloody 22 shells!!
    Seeing as brass isn't magnetic, its a balls deep job.
    First step is taking the top half of the dash off, Pretty straight forward to do. Then its try and fish the shells out with a bit of wire.
    If that fails its a massive job. Entire dash out, AC degassed and whole heater box out and stripped. Last 1 took me like 12 hrs start to finish.

    A shirt over the vents when out shooting or if you want a more permanent fix, take the dash top off and glue whitebait netting over the vents in the dash.
