Anyone have any ideas? Figured out today it's definitely not fitting and removing the Allen bots each time will get annoying fast. I am going to look for some hand knobs online that are the same size as those screws holding the entire arm to the tower for now, unless anyone has any bright ideas?

Creativity wins 5 points..

imondi.....sending you a PM....this thing is brand new but I am open to the option as I go in and out of the garage almost every day.

Well that didn't work out. As I assumed the screws cannot get in deep enough to the stupid recessed holes.

Not sure if this helps, but Samson has a quick disconnect for there mirrors. It a pretty neat handle that can lift and ratchet as well.
