Title: Decklid vent screws!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on June 26, 2020, 09:59:30 pm: Somehow, I hadn't seen this.

Speaking of decklid screws, my brother replaced his with these (https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-QRS-Release-Premier-Cleaning/dp/B00KI3J7G2/ref=asc_df_B00KI3J7G2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343234125040&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8256648631647338881&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010780&hvtargid=pla-822900864172&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=68968886317&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=343234125040&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8256648631647338881&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010780&hvtargid=pla-822900864172) (camera tripod screws). They're stainless steel, and look great.

It went between the screw and the vent flange to protect it from scratches and scrapes. The one that went underneath to keep it on the decklid was a star washer made from plastic. These are spring steel but are very similar in design.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 03, 2020, 10:01:52 am: My screws arrived today. Very nice. The set on my Fiero had been looking less than stellar, and I'd been trying to figure out how to restore them, so this was a welcome product.

I actually have a number of NOS decklid vent screws, and they look almost as badly as my used set. These are still in the bag, so so one has touched them. It's just that the black coating is sporadic. No peeling or anything.

I guess I'll have to get some of these, too.

Really? It doesn't say anything about that on their site.
Shows the screws for $7.95 each, washers for $.95 each, and retainers for $2.49 for a pack of nine.

Nope. You're right. I didn't see that link. Just the separates.
