    Unhappy rear door knobs

    hey guys. I recently broke two of the four "knobs" that hold on the rear pannel. Does anyone know where I could get two or three of the red knobs?

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    i havent heard this brought up in awhile.. but last i remember those knobs were pretty much impossible to get in red... tone mentioned something about being able to fix them (or maybe it was prevent them from breaking?) by using a dowel rod the size of the interior of the screw on the back and gluing it in place inside the knob, not sure if that will help you or not

    I've got 2 of the grey if anyone is looking for them.

    If you still have the pieces that broke off of the red ones, they can be repaired. Cut a 1/2" diameter dowel the length of the threads and epoxy them inside the threads/handle that is hollow. Good idea to do that to the others BEFORE they break.
