Hi,

My glovebox cover broke and I managed to buy a used glovebox compartment, but it turned out that it is also broken at the fastening points. I could work around the problem by using longer screws and washers, however I don't know how to find the appropriate screws.

I only need one more screw: I made some measurements on it, and it has 1/18 in threads, it's diameter is 3/16 in and

is about half inch long, but I would need a screw that is about 2 inches long. Any idea where can I get it? (2007 XK, US model).

Thanks,

Balázs

 

The bolts are metric, not fractional. Look on SNG Barratt's website:

Thanks for the pointer! It looks like that this screw is M6 x 1.4 x 6mm. It seems to be impossible to find an M6 screw with 1.4mm thread size that are a little bit longer. 😅 The usual thread size for M6 is 1mm everywhere I look.

 

You really need a "Canadian Tire". Or... walk in to any commercial fasteners shop.

 

Search for “screws for plastic” in McMaster.com (or similar supply website).
