Just an FYI. If anyone out there (maybe I'm the only one) has ever broke the knobs off the interior back door pc (4 red plastic screws) that holds the cover on, an easy fix is to get a wood dowel the same dia as the hole thru the knob. I snapped 2 of mine where the head meets the thread. I ran the dowel (with glued) all the way thru the threads and as far as I could into the head. Way stronger now.

Very good fix! I know I've done the 'ol twist too hard and SNAP! thing my self. the dowel trick works like a charm! Thanks!

I just fixed all four of mine with an aluminum tube instead of a dowel. For the really bad breaks, I put screws through the threaded part (like screws in a broken leg) and sanded them flush. Bulletproof.
