Default Roof bolt missing...

I am missing a FRONT roof bolt. Musta just fell out when I had the roof off last week.

Where the heck would I find a replacement? Is there an "off the shelf" bolt that will work? Anyone know size/thread of this torx bolt?

Thanks in advance.

Let me check my tool box tonite when I get home - I recall having a few extras from my 96. If I still have them, they're yours if you want them

I got lucky when I stripped the Torx out of mine, the local dealer had a couple NOS sitting around.

I found it here: http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...3&dept_id=1734

So, what holds this in place when the top is off?
