need screws for the bed rails?

I bought my tacoma used and the bed rails came with but they were detached and laying in the bed. I need to reattach those rails but can't seem to get the right size screw in there. I called the stealership and they couldn't even order the parts without ordering an entire new deck rail hardware kit for $400! I took it to ACE hardware and tried to find the appopriate screw to just mount them but none of them seemed to work. Is this a specially thread screw or something that I need to order special?

 

It's metric. Don't know the size though but in your quest for knowledge this is what you do it. Borrow one from some buddies Toyota and take it to a Fastener hardware place. They will be able to match it up in seconds.

 

I might still have all the screws for the bed rail. I will let you know by tonight. You can have it, just pay for the shipping.

 

6mm dia. thread pitch 1.0 and 25mm long.
I would get button allen heads instead of Torx.

 

I think I have an extra set. I had an 08 reg cab, put on a tonneau cover, sold it a year later to get an access cab timberland mica, and put another tonneau cover. i techincally shoudl have 2 zip lock baggies of bolts lying around now...if the first guy doesn't find his, ill see if i can dig up mine..they are in a box..somewhere...hopefully with my tailgate handle! lol

 

I got 13 of those screws. If you want it, pm your address and I can send it.

 

I am buying SS ones from Fastenal. call them!!!!
