Default Does anyone know what size bolt fits here?

This is in the center console, where the door opens right under the climate controls.

Yes, however they are 1 mm longer than the original for the headlight covers, but they do fit. I paid about $7 for 50. I dont know what the dealer cost would be.

it's a long shot, but Ace hardware or a good automotive supply shop may have the thread pitch, but not the finish not captive flat washer

You can get something that fits from the help section at Autozone, Advance, O'Reily's etc. A hardware store would also likely have it. I am running one from Advance, the head looks little different but it works.


As stated above the screw behind the plastic cover which hides the temp sensor next to the ignition switch has the exact same screw. You can use that screw to match the threads.
