    On my 2010 Prius, the passenger-side door latch is loose. I'd tighten the 2 bolts, but can't figure out what kind of driver bit I need. I don't mind buying a set of bits, but want to make sure the set has what I need.
    And I'm hoping hand tight or using an electric drill to tighten them will be enough, and I won't have to buy an impact driver.
    Actually, maybe I should just have a repair shop do it. Probably wouldn't take 5 min.
    Thanks....

    Haven't looked at it lately, but in my mind's eye it's an ordinary Torx ... no?

    Ixnay on the impact driver. Those screws aren't especially big or sturdy. Don't overdo it.

    Just tighten those screws!

    More importantly, have you cleaned your EGR system?

    So it's sorta scheduled and I'll add another prize to the collection(y).
