I have a feeling they are standard oval head sheet metal screws, no?

I don't have a clue....
You have to figure out what size you need ...they have plenty of different hardware to choose from.

You have to know what the original ones look like in the first place.

Then go with what i showed you. 99.9% chance that's it.
If they're not like that, 99.9% of even the most hard core critics won't even notice it.
PLUS...
they are easily available at any ACE or TrueValue that has an aisle of those pull out drawers. SS, too!
Gawd, no one mail orders common screws.

I was hoping that someone would have the sizes so I knew what to buy instaed of buying a hand full of various sizes. If anal is having the shields attached so they don't fall off them I guess your right.

No shame in being anal about your car.
Take any #8 screw laying around and try it.
Too big? It's a #6. Too small, it's a #10. Most trim screws are #8.
Buy some 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2". What you don't use, you'll use eventually. AMHIK.
You're talking pocket change.....
I'm anal about fasteners. I never throw one away.
And I have OCD. They are all sorted and marked.

Take an existing screw out of another location on the car and try it.

These are what I used for mine. I think there was two 3/4" in the front, one 11/4" in the side and one or two 3/4" at the rear... all #8.
Just use a small punch or allen wrench to determine the depth of the hole and add for screw thread penatration

well it was...I don't make the rules.
I still dont think so, even though the guy is looking for trim screws he will get more action and information in the section it was posted.

Dave, you don't know that there's not someone here selling sheet metal screws.
