Screw for a Homelink

[wolfmannyc]

Hi, Everyone.
Does anyone know where I can buy a screw for Homelink? Or can anyone suggest what size it is, so I could buy one in Home Depot/Lowe’s?
Thank you so much for the help.

Oh dang, I clicked the title expecting a completely different question.

I’m afraid I have no answers. Can you provide a picture? Maybe the community can identify it visually.

Clickbait title!!! Might as well call you Ryan Shaw.

This was not an attempt at clickbait. I’m just looking to find a screw size to be able to install the Homelink in MYLR. Thank you in advance for your help.

The bolt spec was mentioned here:DiY HomeLink Install using in car Service Mode - No need for Tesla Service or ToolBox


"If you don’t have the special bolt then you will need a regular hex head M6x1.0 by 25mm flange bolt"

Goodluck trying to get a screw!

Better to get a hex head bolt anyway, no need to buy e-torx sockets if you don't already have them.

I just used a heavy duty zip tie in place of the screw.

Wow, zip ties and screws, this site is getting risqué.

Thank you for the answer. I really appreciate it. Also, thank you to everyone for the laughs and smiles. I’m glad that my inaccurate title brought smiles to people.

I didn’t want to risk dropping the bolt and it’s really hard to get a tool to reach to screw it in. I just zip tied it which works just as well.

Did you find one? I have 3 extra - they came in packs of 4 from my local auto parts store and I only needed one for my HomeLink installation. Happy to mail you one if you still need one.

it's probably the standard m6 screw with 10mm socket head. does anyone know if tesla uses course or fine thread pitch?
