Just finished putting my door panels, all went well untill I got to the window cranks.

Previous owner lost the screws for them and I cant figure out what size screws they take. Every screw I have here at home is either to big or to small.

Searched online, found a pdf with all screws needed for a hatch interior.. except the damn window cranks.

Can soneone run out to their car and take some measurements for me?

Every damn time I take part of my interior out I miss place a screw or bolt, most of the time I find them after a long search but sometimes not so I just ordered a complete interior Screw kit from Late Model Resto for my 1992 Coupe.

I plan to order that kit someday, but it doesn't come with the crank handle screws.

Anyone?

Just spoke to the guys at LateModel, no one knows.

Also called up American Muscle.. no one knows.

Am I really going to have to go to Jeff's to get 2 damn screws...?

Bad news.
Just pulled one off my 89.

It a triangular thread screw (the type that cut their own thread)
Torx head with a 0.8 thread pitch (metric).
It is too small to be 4mm and slips right threw my M5 die.
So it must be M4.5 X 0.8 around 20mm long.

Good luck with the hunt.

Let's pretend that's true:

It shouldn't affect you as you are making Union wages...
