I made the tool a few years ago and it worked on my '06 but I recently tried to use it on my 2010 and it didn't work. Had to uses flat head screwdriver.

Funny part about all this is you don't need a tool...leave the switch in the off position and turn the key while pressing the little release comes right out. Do what ever you need to do...then put it back in the same way, turn the key to lock back.


Had mine off many times and never had to use a tool to align any of it.
