Default Help identifying bolt size for soft top

I bought a premium soft top off a Craigslist ad and it's missing some screws and bolts. https://m.imgur.com/KHJcVhZ Does anyone know what size the bolt is on the right?

Dang it, now I'm questioning myself as to that size. Deleted my original comment. If nobody has responded by the time I get home from work, I'll update. Sorry. Just bought those dang things.

So they are all M6? That simplifies things! Maybe that is why I could only find M6 when I was searching the web. Thank you very much!

EDIT: Well if they are all the same size, I know M6 is what is written throughout the threads online. They look different diameters though.

Y, I was just searching to confirm myself. I see M6-20 as well (pitch of 1). All the bolts you were asking about are indeed the same M6.

Thank you! This has been a bit of a headache but I think it will be worth it in the end.

That premium material sure is a lot nicer. I personal don't see much difference between the spring assist and the non-assist model. Actually think the non-spring assist models are easier to mount in a way and not have to deal with making sure you remember to hook that strap so the spring doesn't unwind on you if you take it off.

I dont know about the spring assist just yet. I literally picked up the top yesterday and only got to play with it enough to learn I don't have the brackets to mount it to the roll bar. It is in great condition and was only $200 so I really can't complain. I'm just eager to get it on the Jeep! I took off the hard top to mount the soft top before realizing I didn't have everything. Now I play the waiting game to get the bracket in.

$200 is a redonk price for a premium soft top much less one in really good shape!
