I was trying to fix the temperature gauge in my Metro about two years ago,...
...by laying on the seat with my legs sticking out the door, and wedging my head under the brake pedal,.. I was able to wiggle my left arm up under the dash and touch the gauge, but I couldn't push the connector... after about ten minutes of trying, I decided to give up.
That's when I discovered that my arm was stuck up there...
20 more minutes of wiggling,.. and I was still stuck.
I had the portable phone on the passenger seat and spent the next 20 minutes trying to kick my shoes off and use my feet maneuver the phone over to my right hand... No luck... (Don't know who I would have called if I'd managed it anyway)...
So,. I returned my escape artist contortions, but this time with my legs somehow in the area of the passenger side dashboard. I guess I got better leverage that way, because I eventually managed to get my head out from under the brake pedal which released my arm and I got out...
All by myself.... a proud moment...
...
The gauge is still broke...
...
I don't need that gauge anyway...
