Access Panel Hex Size - LotusTalk

jgran · 09-12-2009, 11:23 AM

I did a search and could not come up with the info, does anyone know what size hex key is needed?

TIA,
Joe

3mm, check your tool kit - Rob.

Thanks Rob!

Bought the car used, only wrench in the toolkit is for the roof.

Do you have a wheel nut tool adapter? Tough to get the lug bolts off without that....

Yes, the car came with the wheel nut adapter, the torx wrench for the top, and the tow hook.

The kit should have three "L" shaped wrenches. Torx 30 for the hardtop, 3mm for the access panels and door panels, and 5mm for the headlight covers. They (3mm and 5mm) are just standard metric Allen wrenches. I used a Screw driver like torx driver for the hardtop - Rob.

Thanks for the Torx size. I'll be investing in one of those because using the torx in the tool pack is a pita.
