wondercow2 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I just got back from the dealer and struck out trying to get the little nylon hex-head/phillips knobs that go on the ends of the headlight adjusters. They say the part isn't in their catalog, and the shop mechanics told the parts guy that they just turn the screws with vice grips when the knobs break. This seems pretty absurd to me- what's the point of making a clever replaceable tip for the adjuster screw if nobody sells replacement tips? Are these available anywhere online? I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks in shipping to get these. If there isn't an exact replacement anywhere, has anyone tried using a different knob? I'd imagine any nylon bit would fit nicely over the splines on the adjuster screw. A hand-turnable knob would be pretty rad :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
