Does anyone know the size of the screws that hold the rear corner of the headliner to the metal strips that secure the rear of the convertible top? I swapped out tops on Gata (2002 LX) this past week-end, and somehow misplaced them.

 

As near as I can tell from your description, I think those are plastic push pins, not screws. You might want to look through what you removed and see if you can find those. It might help if you posted a picture or two of the location you are describing.

 

Sorry to take so long, but here are some pictures. I hope they will show what I'm asking about.

 

As near as I can tell, the parts book describes the part as follows:

22 06032650 2 C 27 SCREW AND WASHER, Tapping,
.164-15x.50, Headliner To Tack Strip Attaching

In that description, 06032650 is the part number.

I think that .164-15x 50 is the size of the screw, but I'm not sure exactly what those numbers mean. My guess would be the .164 is the diameter (#6?), the 15 is threads per inch and the .50 is a half inch long. Just a guess. Apparently it's a screw with a washer attached. You could try ordering the part by part number from dealership or you could buy a #6 screw, half inch long from a hardware store and see if it fits. Probably will be close enough. You shouldn't need a self-tapping screw since the first screw should have tapped the hole. Don't forget the washer.

 

Thank you, dcotter. That's the information I needed.

 

Reporting back in hopes that it helps someone else down the road. Dcotter nailed it about the diameter and thread pitch. Turned out to be a #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screw and washer.
