    I have a request for some help finding some odd parts. I have a factory bed divider in my 06, but two of the screws that hold the back half of the bracket that the basket mounts to are missing. These are the long torx/allen headed screws that go into the part of the unit that fits inside the side rails on the bed, NOT the large screw with the large black knob. There are two of them on each bracket, and somehow, I only have one on each side. The divider still slides, but it's a pain to try to move, as it keeps going crooked and it requires a lot of finagling to get it to move easily.
    Anyone have a clue as to where I could pick up a pair of those screws? The dealer was no help, as the parts breakdown doesn't show those screws.

    I'm not at all familiar with the factory bed divider but it would probably be easiest just to remove one of the screws that is the same as the ones your missing from the unit and take that screw down to ace hardware and find some extras! (love having an ace down the street xD)

    Yes, I know that would be the easiest in the long run. I'm just wanting to make sure that I get the same thread pitch and pattern, and so on. We do have a machine shop in town that has a huge assortment of screws and bolts as well.

    Every ace I've seen has a TPI gauge or a screw gauge that you just insert your hardware until you find the right size. Shouldn't be able to mess that up.
