You're lucky you didn't find the spider in your car.. laid eggs, and thousands of spiders leftover. This is what happened to someone when they left their car in the garage for the winter... they hibernated or something, and by the time the guy got to his car in spring, spiderwebs all inside the car.

Wonder how you would handle something like that... how does someone clean that up? Detail shop?

We have a local guy who had something die in his car, or in his headlight or something like that. It's kinda funny to imagine going to the dealership, "Can you please get rid of that deaed spider? Thanks. "

To remove your spider, Morgan.. I think you need to remove the assembly and shake it out via the hole that the light bulb is in.

I have one in my taillight too. Must be part of the Type S package.

Actually, its pretty small so I may replace it with an aftermarket spider. Anyone have suggestions on good spider vendors? I want quality but not too expensive.

Is the avatar pic one of those? It looks like you donning a suit of some sort, but can't tell.
