Well like most everyone here I had to drill out ALL four screws holding the tailgate. My question is has anyone found similar screws/bolts like the ones we removed? Or is everyone switching to hex head bolts? I searched online and all local hardware and auto stores and can't find anything similar to what I removed. What's everyone else using to reattach the tailgate?
Thank you
