Anyoine have any suggestions how to get a mouse out of the dash?? I have tried every kind of trap on the market and it wont come out !. Been in there for a week. I can hear him when I open the door but nothing brings it out. Over the glove box! Any suggestions?
The last thing you want is for it to die in there. Had one die inside a wall once and the smell was horrible. I'm sure someone will have a remedy for you, but I'd look for classic car restorers as a source for info too. I'll bet they run into that kind of thing a lot.

This could work and removal of the cabin air filter as suggested would provide a way out for the mouse. Also try putting a number of Bounce dryer sheets or some Irish Spring soap in the cabin and engine bay - from what I understand mice do not like the smell.

I thought that too. Turned out to be climate control doors cycling when first open one of the doors.
Snap traps with peanut butter. Put a bunch down, because he probably has bothers and sisters staying with him in his new home.
In my experience, a snap trap misfire sometime results in a captive limb sacrificed for the escape and then they bleed to death somewhere else... but with the glue... if they have buddies or family they come around to see what's up and you get them too...
Every time I open the door I hear something moving above the glove box. I'm thinking it is a mouse but is there something else like climate control doors that move when the passenger door opens?? Not a mechanic so haven't got a clue !!
I have had traps and no luck. Even put poison tabs down and the damn thing ate all of it and even ate the peanut butter without setting the trap off !!
