Default Rear latch screw

Anyone know where I can get a screw for the rear hatch upper component. Lost one somewhere along the way--when I tighten the one remaining screw the automatic release works; when the one remaining screw loosens, the automatic release stops working; getting another screw could be the easiest rear-hatch fix ever...

Try your local ACE hardwear. They usally have a selection of metric bolts.

first open the tool tray and look in there for the screw, Also look carefully in the lower lock housing, then check the spare tire well then remove the battery and look in there, the screw may be right in front of you....... If thats a no go then Ace should be the place

Thanks everyone. I'm a little bit of stickler for appearances so Roger I'll probably be giving you a call so the screw heads match. Pretty silly of me to pay for shipping a screw from TX to SC but it's for a good cause.

Just buy some VW lights from Roger at the same time and get the screw shipping for free...
