        I need to replace the plastic covers that go under the adjuster knobs on mine, but I CANNOT get those screws inside the knobs to turn! The heads are just getting all fucked up, I might have to drill them out.

          honestly, i would call the dealer to make sure that they are still available, then break the knob off and turn the screws out with a pair of vice grips. that is what i did since the center already broke free in mine and the screw was starting to strip out. the screw runs into a metal bar and i would rather not risk f'ing up the little threads and re taping them after a bad drill out

            They sell them on that UK site that sells all the replacement foams and what not, I'll just get them from there. But I'll check the dealer, too.

                  now you need enough extra to do your back seat and the inserts in the door panels too

                  and that is the material on the cover of the box, not what is on the actual wheel

                    The guy who owns that wheel wants my seats.
