Default convert top latch fasteners needed

I'm replacing my cracked windshield on my 68 convert and would like to also put the correct fasteners in the right and left top latches on the windshield frame. Does someone have a photo of the correct fasteners? Mine has a variety of screws used.

Hi r,
That's a VERY nice assortment!!!!!
My picture is of a 71 coupe but I'd think the fasteners would be the same as for your car… chrome plated, phillips, oval head, counter sunk, screws.
The size and length could well vary depending on where it's being used.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks, Alan. I did not think the straight slotted screws were the correct ones. Must have been in bubba's parts bin. RA
