Headlight ****
Hello All,
The **** on my headlight pull keeps coming off.
Here are some pics. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get it to stay on? The stick part has grooves in it like I can screw the pull on it, but I can't get it to stay.
Thanks,
BQ

Check the backside of the pull to see if the spring inside has collapsed. If it has, you can always just use some JB weld to reattach the pull.

Yup - epoxy.

It'll last longer than you will.

Or have Scott send you one - He's a great guy to deal with.
