Something inside the rear valve cover?

So Not gonna say who i bought the 5th gen cover from, but the person who shipped it to me cover it with foam pieces and after spending 15 minutes digging all the foam out of the damn thing i hear something that rattles in the back area and cant seem to get it out no matter what(ran water through it, put a shop vac up to the openings on the underside etc) should I worry about it when i do my 00vi next week? demand a new one? Thanks

Its probably the rubber grommet for the PCV valve. If its in there its not going anywhere as its closed off by perforations on the underside, but you can try to get it out through that opening.
