Knob tool
Has anyone found a place to buy the correct tool to tighten the headlight switch an w/s wiper knob, all the ones I have seen on line are incorrect for our trucks
I could probably make one, but would like to see what's out there to buy

Re: Knob tool
I believe Lisle brand makes one. I have always removed them with needle nose pliers and hand tight on install not to risk cracking dash corners.

Re: Knob tool
