Default Made multipurpose convertible top opening tool for $10

With the manual wrench for opening the convertible top getting near impossible to find I did some online research. Found a 10 MM Park Tool bicycle wrench 1/8" thick on
Amazon Amazon
for $8.50. Needed a longer handle to use on toneau cover so found 8" metal HVAC ( https://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/ductwork/ductwork-fittings/double-end-drive-cleats-duct-fitting/70000081lq/p-1444432276904-c-14260.htm?tid=-1381034447118242560&ipos=18about $1. Wrench fits tight into for cavity of the connector , added a little epoxy to be safe and now have a tool that will do what the $150 OEM tool will do for under ten dollars.
