    I bought mine from the local Honda dealer-- about $10 per knob. I am not smart sometimes.

    Another place to check is Ace Hardware. They have a lot of different knobs.

    Another place to check is this forum's member list.
    But there may only be a couple left now.

    I believe I have been on that list at one time or another.

    I got a couple of round knobs at local hardware store for $3 each....the one I made for the center cubby is fine, but the one for the bags is a tougher "turn". I cant get the torque on the knob to trip the lock. Looking for an alternative style that is a bit more like a key head and gives me the extra oomph to open the lock

    Here is a good idea. I am still looking for the correct "balls". Maybe you can find some.

    Here's what I use, for the very reason you stated. Ace hardware, cheap. If you buy this one, it has some kind of glaze on it, remove it with a light sanding. Then a little wax or armor all to get the right finish. You only have to do that once.

    I just noticed who was asking the question. Duhhhh

    I have the same problem. Can't get enough grip on the small radio knobs for the bags.


    Living in the rural NC sticks, Ace HW stores only carry the basic stuff.
