    One of my paddle shifters is just a little bit loose. I’d like to tighten it myself. Anybody know the tool necessary for those screws?

    Look at the head. Should be either hex or torx.

    As Mark said, it is a hex. Make sure it is long enough because you will need to turn the steering wheel to get access to them.

    Carbonio provides a tool with the replacement carbon paddles, I did not care checking what it is ;)
