I have a 1992 YJ and am trying to replace some of the missing screws. On the upper part of the windshield, on the inside there is a bracket with 2 screws/bolts in it. I have included a picture that shows the screws I am talking about (this is not my jeep). There is 1 screw missing from each side and I can't seem to find where I can order replacement screws. Any ideas or at the very least, does anyone know the size of these screws so that can try to source them at a local hardware store? Thanks.

I bought a ten pack at a good price at Amazon for different locations, my door hinges screw heads were stripped out. Measure twice before ordering because there are several sizes.

I’d go to Ace Hardware, pull out one of the remaining bolts while your in the parking lot, take it inside, scour the bins, hopefully you find the right size bolt, test fit them right then and there. If all is good, buy’em, install’em and be on your way.
I got it figured out. I removed one of them and took it to Ace Hardware and went in and matched it like JoeTex suggested. It ended up being a 5/16-18x1" screw. I made sure I got the grade 8 screws that were coated to help mitigate any rusting and they were only $1.19 each, so I bought all of the ones they had in stock (5). They are not the t30 torx head but are hex heads whcih is fine since they are in a location that no one will be able to see them. I also did some checking and it looks like the bolts used for the door and tailgate hinges are the same size (like Flyer58 said they probably were). Thanks guys for the help. I've only been a member of this forum for a short time but I've already gotten a lot of help from members.
