Screws

I recently moved and seemed to of misplaced the bolts and screws from the interior dash pieces and random interior trim screws. I took apart a lot of stuff before moving and thought I put them somewhere I'd remember but apparently that wasn't the case.

Just wondering what thread types and sizes were common for the interior so I can pick up some from the store. Are they common to get at a hardware store or do I have to go through GM Parts?

Re: Screws

So I'm guessing these can't be bought at the hardware store.

When I did a search on ebay I got a lot of results for phillips type screws that I don't think are the same ones, not the socket ones that are OEM.

I guess I will call House of Camaro if I come to a dead end. Thanks for the referral!

Re: Screws

no you can buy packs of the right ones at like autozone
head size isn't very important as much as diameter and length of screws

Re: Screws

Are you looking for Torx screws? Looks like a six pointed star?
