Just reach down, that area is pretty open.

If not, drive the car onto ramps or jack it up and pull the bottom tray off.

Or put some tape or something sticky that can hold the weight of the cap on the end of a stick and poke the cap to grab it.

Use a set of tongs from your kitchen and reach down to grab the cap.

I'm just curious. Did you get? Story time on how you grab it if so.

I used double tape to a broom stick and pulled it up through the open area by the hood latches.
