light switch knob

I know you guys are busy discussing SUVs and such, but I have a really serious problem to deal with. When I screw the knob onto my headlight switch and it bottoms out, it still does not stay tight. In other words, there is no elasticity to the 'bottoming out' connection. It's as if the female part of the connection is made of titanium and will not allow the knob to be torqued down so that it does not unscrew. Perhaps I should drop a ball of rubber into the knob so that tension can be held against the threads.

I can still operate the car safely, but....
