Dendo 'Bolter D Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 54 Laurinburg NC	Can anyone tell me how do you replace the knob on the end of rod that controls the water flow to the heater on my truck? It seems to be a solid plastic that secures to the rod without any set screw. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dennis Turner 1951 Chevrolet 5-window 1963 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton Pickup Truck

Mine started slipping so I will put some glue of some kind on it. Some people don't really know how to turn a knob so it can start to slip if turned too much one way. Good luck.
