Missing One Screw from 1987 Salon pass side front parking light. Any ideas where to get these without buying the whole assembly? Bought car and discovered very shortly thereafter that it was missing. Thanks.
 
OOFTA! About blew that. Looked up the wrong screws. Here's the right info.

11504753 is the GM part number for the bright screw, torx head WITH washer. M4 x 0.7 x 20mm. #20 on the drawing below. Unfortunately discontinued for forever. Nearly unobtanium.

Nut is GM part number 11500655. M4 x 0.7. It's #16 on the drawing below.

Closest aftermarket screw I can come up with.


It's really odd. I went and looked at all my cars. Every one of them appears they DO NOT HAVE A WASHER on the screw. Just a button head, almost flat headed, torx screw on all 3. I did not see any evidence of any washers, and to tell the truth, I can't recall over the last 20 years since I had installed the 84's lamps whether it had a washer on the screws.

I did not own my 87 since new, nor the 84. Although I don't suspect the 87s have ever been messed with, I wasn't there for the first 19K miles and 20 years of its life. However, the 85 has the same screw heads based on what I can tell, and I know for sure they've never been removed.

Your best bet is to remove one of your screws from the other side, assuming it's original, and compare it to whatever you're trying to find.
 
Never seen them with washers, just checked mine no washers. I have seen older cars with metal bezels that had the washers.

im still looking for screws. The ones you came up with look good but originals almost have wood screw threads. ( Rotty resting in front of me)
