Default 69 convertible windshield header screws

Continuing with the interior trim install on my 69 roadster. I can’t find pictures from the windshield header, specifically the screws that go on underneath the header trim. If anyone has a picture of the header without the trim on from a convertible that would be great. I assume they are black with attached washer? I can’t find the bagged old ones right now either or aftermarket ones to compare or order. Here’s a picture of the header bar without the trim. I believe it gets three screws on the left and three screws on the right under the trim.

One of the screw holes are for the sun visor. My 70 uses chrome screws with a washer. I hope this picture helps.
Edit: of course I just realized you wanted the screws UNDER the trim. I need to stop playing on CF at 1:00 in the morning.

All the repro screws I have seen that are specific for the interiors are not at all correct.

These three on the right (there are three on the right also) are covered by the header trim. Does anyone remember what kind of screws these are? Short chrome like on the top of the stainless trim?

Thanks Sammy. I figured they would be small black screws considering they are hidden under the header trim panel. Now I just have to dig around and find them!

FWIW, you can get these at your local Ace Hardware if you can't find them in your stash.
