Your car has 2. Remove the other one and take it to an auto parts store to find a match.

Yes that is true, but the driver's side screw is missing and the passenger's side takes more time to take off. I was asking for a size answer. To make it faster. I worked at Autozone..they won't help.

I tried to search it out and came up blank.Im afraid you will probably need to pull the other screw and take it to the hardware store and match it up.

I believe the thread is M6 thread pitch is 1.

Unsure of length..

Better quality and less expensive to purchase bolt from dealer... a dollar..

Autozone(d) is not recommended.

Exactly, it's not like you're gonna spend an extra hundred on it, and it would be faster then taking off the other one to compare it.
Walk in, explain what bolt ya need, pay for it, and walk out. Fast and easy.
