So I had one of the flimsy plastic clips (the back part) come loose and fall into the vent. Upon trying to retrieve it, it inadvertently fell further into the vent. Made an audible plastic clip falling sound as it went down.

So my question is, should I be concerned? Some googling online has lead me to believe that the blower motor fan sits below it, I'm hoping it's sufficiently shielded that the plastic clip won't interfere with the air con/heater itself, and the worst I can get is possibly a rattling sound and just the inability to control that vent direction.

I can't be the only one this has happened to before. Does anyone have and advice on whether it's an issue?
Thanks in advance

Its not an issue and wont affect the air conditioning at all, its shielded and you should get the garage to remove and fix it.
