Hi All,

Looking for some help on locating this screw. This screws goes on the inside of the convertible right above the driver's head. It keeps the convertible top secure to the convertible frame and it prevents the top from catching air. I had a new convertible top installed the guy who installed said that they were missing.

I need 6 of them.

So, now I'm on a mission on finding these screw now.

I found some screws but don't think they will fit.

One would think you could find that screw at a quality hardware store.....
If not, McMasters ??
The screw you have in your hand is NOT like the new ones you show a link to...

Correct, I was only added the link as an example hoping they will work. I guess the only thing I'm concerned about is the threads. The top of the screw not a big deal.

I would think the top of the screw would be important... It looks like it fits into the countersunk area on the top bow......

Yes, it does have s flush fit, unfortunately I don't have any, at least not yet. The counter sunk head is important but you should be able to find some at a hardware store.
