Question Missing Soft Top Torx Screw

I noticed over the weekend that I'm missing one of my torx head screws for the soft top. I went to one of the Jeep dealers I deal with and she couldn't find a replacment part for it. I'm going to go to a more trusted and knowledgeable dealer tonight and ask, but would anyone know a better way to get these screws? I also went to Home Depot and bought a screw I thought would work, but it didn't.

HELP!

I'm guessing that it's one of the four that attaches the soft top brackets to the rear roll bars. That's the way I took my soft top off.

You are right Denny! I ended up going to another dealer tonight and the guy at the parts desk was on it!! He knew right what I was talking about and just so happened to have two in a drawer. He just gave them to me! This guy at this parts desk has always treated me well with the three Jeeps I've owned. I should have went to him first.

Thanks for the link ANTHONYLIMOMAN! That may come in handy in the future.

Sorry for the confusion Happy.

One thing I see with those is they allow someone to steal your softop without tools and since someone already stole my bar for the rear window I wont tempt them

That parts person was a dope, if she took your vin number plugged into computer she could have printed out the parts list for the soft top with diagram and bamn find it that easy lol.....

glad your 2nd dealer knew what they were doing

edit: I forgot to ask, was it the bolts for the bracket to the rollbar or the bows to that bracker?
