Looking for screw size to hold my QUARTER window moldings in. I bought the car w/o the quarter window moldings and found a pair. I need to know what size screws I need to install them. I know it's not brain surgery but I want the correct size screws. THANKS in advance for info on this.
I looked in the parts book but found no listing for the screws, if I was guessing I'd say a stainless number 8, probably an inch long.....I'm too lazy to unscrew one of mine. Here is link to help though. https://iandireproduction.com/products/gm15?_pos=1&_sid=fc183da0b&_ss=r
Be very careful with length. They will screw right through the outer body. don't ask me how I know that. Yup it involves a freshly painted body.
@wheelguy , if you determine what size and quan***y you need LMK, I might have them and if so I’ll send them out to you.
Mine had too-long screws installed and the frame had little "reverse centre punch" marks where the points finished. I couldn't find anything close and ended up cutting the too-long but correct gauge screws down shorter.
Stainless Phillips Heads crews at home Depot. Maybe 1 inch # 8. I used them on my 51 convertible for the garnish moldings. They're not expensive and won't tarnish or age.
I purchased a complete interior set of OEM style screws for my 46 Olds sedanette from Chevs of the 40s; door locks & pillar, garnish moldings etc etc. Multiple individual sets with correct domed heads /lengths with either phillips or slot heads. Just being pedantic!
