Anybody find a match for the slotted screws that hold the aluminum sunroof rails/tracks to the body? How about the ones for the retainer bar for the rear of the sunroof cover?

And in stainless.

I got mine from Wolfsburg West ....they list them as door handle screws or something like that but they have them in stainless they look good and match the originals pretty well.

Well goddamn, your story checks out. Thanks! Is that the same screw for the retainer bar, or are those longer?
