They're 3.5x16mm sheet metal screws. Screws of the same description are used to hold down the aluminum strips that secure the carpet on the sills (the heads on these may be a slightly different shape, but the diameter and pitch are the same), and shorter ones (9.5mm) are used to hold on the padding on the A-pillar and above the windshield. 3.5mm metric sheet metal screws are almost the same size as the US #6 screws, and I've found that #6x3/4" screws you can get at any hardware store work just as well as the correct metric parts.

Larry Larry, aren't those more of a flat head (slightly rounded counter sunk) and the one's for the LPL are panheads...Right? |
