My LinQ Knob Tool ain't pretty, but it works well!
I remove the RT's rear deck and mount an RT LinQ Rack for multi-day trips. The LinQ knob is too tight for my tender hands, so I used a channel-lock plier in the past and scarred the handle. I discovered a 1 1/2 in PVC pipe fit the dwells of the knob so I notched out a ~1 3/16 in gap ~ 1/2 in deep and drilled a hole to slip a screwdriver thru for leverage. It ain't pretty but it works very well.

Great idea! My 2021 did not come with tool, so I loosened the nut under the cargo box as far as I dared. It turns easier but I cannot get it to turn all the way. I have been using a adjustable wrench.

Before I purchased the tool, I used an adjustable wrench that had a hole on the end of it, I inserted a screwdriver through it and that worked great.

Love it! As they say, desperation is the mother of invention. Home Depot here I come.
Thanks for sharing.

@RayBJ, just wanted to expand on my previous post.
There's nothing wrong with the one that you made, I like it and would have done the same if I had thought of that.

Any tool that works is pretty. Good job of thinking outside the box

Reason: toll... ;-)
2024 RT Sea to Sky screen now working but codes will remain until BRP releases the ACP update.
2023 RT Sea to Sky Shadow Green (guess what? NO errors at all in 9 months of owning!) Such a sweet S2S :-)
