Default Looking for door panel bolts

Need two bolts that hold the door panels to the door, they go behind the door handle, under the little plastic cover.

Went to the dealership but they didn't have them in stock neither could order. Parts guys was nice and gave me two regular bolts but I didn't like them. His bolt had those large hexagon heads, requiring a socket set.

On the original bolt, you can simply use a long hex key/allen wrench.

Where can I find them?

How about a local auto parts or fastener supply store? Bring the bolt in and see if they can match it up.

Great, sent them an email last night and they replied in the morning.

They had the bolts in stock.
