    Does anyone have a part # for this?

    Happy 4th r3v!

    I'm looking for those three turn-in screws that go into those holes at the top of a non-airbag knee bolster.



    Can't seem to make it out from the diagram

    And just to clarify, talking about these ones:


    #2
    #12.

      Great! I had a hunch it was #12 but wasn't certain.

      Thank you based reelizm.

It is not the top part in the pic above. It is the part in the middle of the bolster with a flange. Any idea which is the correct part # for the small quarter-turn screws with no flange on the head?

        Here is the parts diagram and the parts numbers for item #12.

        Thanks, Cory

          I believe the quarter turn screws in the picture on top have been superceded by the ones with the flange which is better in my opinion as realOEM currently only lists two choices. The one that goes on the bottom is a larger flat head quarter turn screw but many offer the headlight cover thumb screw 869 as a replacement. I've verified it does work well. 869 is listed as fitting on top in realOEM but they are larger so I'm not sure they'd work. So you'd need three 579's and one 869 if you want to order new parts to mount the panel. The back of the panel slides into the slot on the firewall and the steering column.

            As cheap as they are, order 5 of each so you have a few extras and use whichever ones you like best.

              Awesome info. Thank you very much!

              It's personal preference, but I like the smaller head on the upper screws. Doesn't much matter at this point, since they are NLA.
