Red Rear Door Plastic Screw

[Raque Thomas]

Not sure what gives - the guide lists the other part number for red??? Probably why everyone is having a hard time getting the correct part!

If anyone has an extra 1 or 2 of the red knobs I would be happy buy them. I just snapped one of mine last week. Must be an epidemic.

If you have the pieces to the broken "screws", you can fix them VERY CHEAPLY and have them NEVER break again!

I just broke two of mine last week too. To fix them, I went to Home Depot and bought 4 (I fixed the unbroken ones too) metal, tubular "Spacers" to reinforce the inner bore of the plastic screws. You'll find them in the specialty parts area of the hardware section. The spacers are about 2" long and the outer diameter is a PERFECT fit to the inner diameter of the screws! So, if you slide the spacer into the broken (handle) part of the screw, and slide the smaller broken piece over the rest of the spacer (superglue the spacer into the bore), you'll have a perfectly fixed and reinforced screw that'll never break again. And, yes... the metal retainer clip will still work!

I think I spent less than $1 on each spacer, plus $1 for the Superglue.

Hope this helps!
