Default Help identifying a pillar bolts

While I was installing my new head unit; I realized I have a few (what look like important) bolts missing from my a pillar and top of windshield. Can anyone refer me to a part number for these bolts? They’re missing from both sides.

Gotcha, thanks -

Finding a few different options related to that size. Is there a certain bolt color / washer size I should be looking for?

or

?

I can't seem to find those screws on ANY diagram. Seems fairly structural, so want to make sure I get the right one

The Quad link tends to be the same bolt. But just to be on the safe side, check the passenger side pillar for the same bolt. Remove the bolt and compare the sizes. I suspect that the previous owner/s used the grab bars in that location which require a longer torque bolt. traded the vehicle in without the grab bars but leaving the factory bolts out of the equation.

yeah, that’s what I suspect too. the Quad link I think makes sense, but I can’t tell since the head looks smaller / washer bigger. The second link I found through a sports bar parts diagram, but it wasn’t labeled where it goes.

The passenger side bolt is missing as well, so that’s what’s making the finding of the bolt harder. There’s also 1 bolt missing on each side where the visors are, so I’m assuming those are the same. Also found that I’m missing a few sound bar screws.

I’m gonna take a ride by a dealership tomorrow and try and get all the bolts missing.

If you install those fabulous Grabars handles then don't bother because the handle kit replaces these

Was considering that, but already put fabric handles on the sport bars, so want to try to find the bolts that correctly match the holes.
