Can someone give me the spec of the screw

[bimmerboy73]

That goes through the armrest into the door at this point. I am missing both.

Thanks in advance!

Could it be #2 or #3 in this diagram from realoem ?

Saw that. I guess what I should have asked for is a photo. I have a box of random screws that I am sorting through and have tried a few different screws in that length and a few diameters but none work. Images on the web all seen generic.

Just trying to avoid a trip to home depot.

It is an M6 Phillips head machine screw, these other three are coarse thread screws.

Thanks. That makes more sense

These get stripped as owners try to use a coarse thread screw here. It is an oval head.

As usual @HB Chris speaks the truth. Took my passenger side off about 20 minutes ago to add vapor barrier and this is what I find. Someone has been here before me….

And while we are on doors, what are these and why did I order them when I figured I was redoing door interiors? Looks like they are part of the inner door card, listed as part 51/30/00 but I can’t see that in the picture. What holes do they plug?

The door card clips fit inside those plastic sleeves,

Thanks, that was it.

I think everyone should have a tap and die set (metric). Besides the obvious benefits and function, I use it to size screws, nuts, bolts, both pitch and size.

I got one years ago at an estate sale. It looked good but was not. Cheap steel taps barely harder than the metal I was trying to cut threads into. Don't spare a few dollars, it will cost you in the end. A thread pitch gauge is also useful for determining what bolt you have in hand.

Are these not the headliner support rod grommets?
I thought the door card plastic clips went straight into sheet metal?

Door clips fit into those little condoms.

I'm with @JamesE30 , I thought the door clips went straight into the sheet metal like on most cars. Turns out they get a plastic condom here. Not sure of why, but ok.

Moisture seals?

Hmm ok good to know!

I have found the green clips work the best

Thanks Chris. Went back through the boxes of fasteners I have and found both screws keeping each other company under a bunch of random fasteners that id replaced when I put my coupe back together. Helped to know exactly what I was looking for. RealOEM sent me on a fools errand in search of the wrong thing.
