    I have been unable to use my tonneau cover due to couple of the bolts that hold the crossbars in place snapped off.. Its a Lebra low profile tonneau and they are longer made and the company that now owns lebra has no parts or info available..

    I only have one picture of the parts... well its actually two side by side..

    from what I can tell I think its some kind of Tee bolt. Id go remove one totally off the truck but its still buried in a snowbank and Im still trying to remove it.

    If anyone an identify what it is and help point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    I have tried looking a some specialty nuts/bolts/screws and interestingly enough, Ace Hardware has been a successful place for me.

    if its only the bolt,it looks metric(i would say 6mm is the standard size for stuff like that,if american,its 1/4 inch)
    ,its a socket head cap screw(shcs),
    look at fastenal.com,
    msc.com,
    mcmastercarr.com

    they might also have the t nut,
    if not,try a local fab shop

    Does the McMaster part 90594A009 fit based on your measurements? It's only $7 for a pack of 50.
