I don't mind telling you I screamed like a little girl and damn near wet myself...
Didja do a Samuel Jackson look at them, maybe even quote him a few times?

markandPut an electric heating pad on the seat and plug it in. The heat will attract the adorable critter, perhaps better than the dash. Having it warm itself on the seat instead of the dash might give you enough time to secure and relocate it.

THIS post is EXACTLY why you should ALWAYS read ALL of the posts in the thread in chronological order, and not just click on the last page thinking you can always go back to catch up on the previous posts you missed since your last visit!

Ya know, that's not a half bad idea. I'll try that tomorrow.

You might try releasing a black snake into the car. They thrive on pests.

arfmelYou might consider putting a glue trap on the heating pad and/or dashboard. I’ve caught snakes on a rat size glue trap in my shop building. You can release the snake by spraying the snake and trap with cooking oil spray.

Sig2340Over coffee this morning I realized the solution.
You need a wolverine to put in the car.

Be extra careful if you have side curtain airbags mounted in that pillar.

OneWheelDriveIn my first car, a 1971 Chevelle Malibu, I found a roach. Also found a roach clip.
