    Hello all, I need a bolt the holds the inner tailgate latch in place. 1/2 short bolt with wide head, it's a Phillips head. Can't get the glass in without it. I just need one.

    The car type doesn't matter as much as the description of the bolt/screw. A pic of where it goes and pic of another bolt like it if you have one would help a lot too.
    Diameter, thread count, length, head type (like pan, oval, flat) are needed.
    It has a wide Phillips head and is 1/2 long is not enough to go on for most people.
    To me it sounds like the flat or oval head machine screws GM has been using for forever to hold door latches if it goes in from the outside.
    I have a lot of extra '71 Vista fasteners but need more to go on.
