Okay. I found the screws and can get them for 50 of them.
Which will provide 8 sets (if my math is correct).
I will take a set so that leaves 7 left (minus 2 that posted interest)
So starting a list 1-8 3 already filled.
let me know by pm so i can keep better track of it.
if we get like 5-6 i will probably go ahead and just order it.
Thanks guys

I just picked up a filler door today from the dealer where I bought the Jeep, and because I bought it there, I got a 10% discount. Woohoo! It listed for $101.00. After reading this thread, I decided to look for some sturdier black screws and found them at Grainger. Black, low-profile head and 6mm long. Same exact size as the originals.

They fit perfect. Low profile head so they sit flush with the door. My dumb ass didn't pay attention that they were steal (not stainless or aluminum) so they rusted at the first rain. I ended up spraying flat black rustoleum on the original screws and used them. I'm still looking for low profile black aluminum or stainless screws.

This may sound like a silly question, but then again may be worth asking to avoid breaking something. Does the gas cap string/attachment pop off? Is it a matter of just pulling it out ?
I just purchased one and will be installing next week. Finally anyone have any black aluminum screws left?
