You know those nifty swing-out armrests in the doors (S4)?

Some clown lost the two little screws that hold the hinge to the armrest--there are two on the forward hinge and two on the rear. Instead of the proper screws I have two that are just wrong in every way so my hinge is always loose.

Can anyone tell me the spec of these screws so I can the right kind at a hardware store or something? It is hard to match screws by eye when they have like 4,000 bins full of screws of different thread pitch etc.

Uh, is that supposed to be a link to someplace, or am I really missing a joke?

Geeeeky.

That was a VI editor command to replace text, aka a joke.

Have you looked thought the PET database yet?

If they're the ones I'm thinking of, they have nuts captured in plastic 'fingers' on the back side of the armrest panel. Chances are you'll need a few of the nuts as well since they're prone to coming loose when you take the screws out from the other side

Have you got the nuts to do it?

Those nuts can be real ballbusters, if you know what I mean ...

This thread is nutty!

Thanks much to Rob, and very limited appreciation for you other comedians

And I thought I was a computer geek, but I forgot all my VI commands years ago.
