Get an industrial sewing needle from any sewing store I use an 18 guage. The folks at GM sell a nice set for reasonable. worth the investment to just order from them and then u will know.

While we are talking about sewing needles -- I have on occasion dropped one after tapping it, and it rolled down the windshield and down into the grill on the car! "Well crap" I thought to myself. "I'm glad the customer didn't see that."

The sewing needles are a little difficult to hold, so I have been thinking... I could use a plastic straw or pice of plasic or cardboard (something) to act as a handle and push the sewing needle through it half way. It would be much easier to hold and control. Then if it did get away from me, it certainly wouldn't find its way down inside the grill on the customers car.

Happy repairing!

Cut a small piece off an old belt for the holder Sneck, it does make a time of getting used to it for aim tho...
