Canopy sliding window track screws

Post by moveson »

You know those little teflon screws that hold the sliding window tracks to the canopy? The ones that the heads break off if you look at them sideways? Anyone know where to buy some replacement screws?

Or even just a part number would be helpful. I can't find the screws in the IPC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For future reference, I was able to locate the Diamond part number: 301.12.0056 (Screw, nylon, countersunk)

I ordered nylon flathead screws from an on-line source. I don't remember the size and can't find my order, but you should be able to put a good one on a screw gauge and figure out the size and if it is metric or not. Both black and white were available, but I stuck with the white. The replacements eventually break off just like the originals, so get some extras.
