Just putting the trunk rear trim back on and when I opened my bag of screws there were several different types.  The picture shows what I had taken off.  Guess people just used what was handy.  Anyone know which one is the correct screw??

Meaning upper trunk opening trim mldg ?

2nd one form the left ( the individual screw )

the 2 on the far left look like wheel lip mldg screws.

third from the left look like the screws that go thru the rear end of the 1/4 window upper pads ( hidden once the rear seat is in )

Yes, the piece of stainless steel that goes across the top of the tail light panel and is in the trunk lid opening (should have added a pic.)

Thanks for the choice, now all I have to do is find 6 more.

they are the same as the wheel well trim.

I happen to have a local junk yard near me with old cars in it. And the 2 that happened to still had that trim on it did NOT have wheel lip mldg screws holding it on .

I'd side with originality any day (even though I'm quoted in one of those threads). Now I have to go look in the garage at mine again...

Maybe its a plant thing, or a date thing. I really dont care. But no argument from me either way.  I just replied with MY findings when I need the same info. 2thumbs
