I have a leatherman micra tool and if I fold the screwdriver bit out at a 80 degree angle, the close the body of the tool back up, I can loosen/tighten these.

The other issue I have is the spacer at the bottom. My latches work intermittently due to the fact that I am missing these spacers. Does anyone have a good method for installing a new slider under the window without removing the entire unit? Also, where can I buy these? I bought a couple from Bus Depot a while back only to find out they did not work on my van,
