Tail light lens torx size
Hello all, I have a tail light out and when I went to remove the lens to get to it, I ran into a bit of confusion. They sure look like torx head screws, but a 15 was a little too small and a 20 was a little too big. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a torx between those two. Thoughts?

He's correct, it is a Torx drive but it's an 8 point and not a 6 point. There are several others like this also on the motorhome.

I had the same issue a while back and called the factory and they told me to use a square drive. I tried it and it worked fine. I found that they mix torx, square drive, and phillips head screws in the build.

Not our problem if you don't know the correct name. Has been a robertson for 106 years in Canada.
Canadian P. L. Robertson invented the Robertson screw and screwdriver in 1908 and received patents in 1909 (Canada) and 1911 (U.S. Patent 1,003,657).
