sun visor/convertible latch screws?

Post by richfolsom »

Does anyone know where I can get the screws that hold the sun visor/convertible latch screws? Or at least what size they are?

I think I may have some on a parts car. I will check when I get home in the morning. As Csaba asked in your previous post,are you going to the Hill country drive this weekend in Buda?

.... if someone wants to bring a couple of spare screws to Buda - a quick weekend inspection has yielded a missing one on the left hand catch and a remarkably loose right hand one.... So I'm hoping the roof can stay down while in motion!

I might be able to come down for the Saturday part of it. I should know later today.

The screws for the convertible top hold down brackets attached to the windshield frame are usually corroded and extremely hard to remove. When you do get them out replace them with stainless steel ones, they will look a lot better. I've done that for all the screws into the convertible frame.

I think I got the car back together. I went ahead and ordered some screws from Autoricambi. I didn't realize that was Csaba from the site. If the screws come in, I will head down either Friday night or Saturday morning. Sounds fun.
