Any secrets to getting the defroster/demister flex HOSES back on the vents themselves with the dash and windscreen in place? It's getting colder in Tennessee!

I slid one on last night, it was tight. I think some slickem is in order.

Found this little tool set in a group of tools I inherited from my father in-law.

Made where? Do they still make things, tools? Well my screws weren't in the best of shape so I tool some small ss machine screws and dropped them in, held them in place with my knife while I used a nut driver and tightened them up. So I have 4 tiny shiny spots on my blue dash..

I've got a set of those (not sure what brand), they are awesome for tight spots and also getting a little extra umph on a stuck screw.

I've never ever regretted buying a tool.
