You would think as many times as I have been in my driver's side door I would have noticed them.
Nothing I see in my parts catalog.
Can even figure out what they are holding or why they are there.
Any idea about that?

The only thing I see is it aligns with the window track.

Are they still in the other door?

likely a metric thread, but not for sure. try a hardware store. Perhaps a bolt can be removed from another door so its size can be matched at the hardware store?

good luck

They hold the track for the glass. I have had mine out recently.

Yep could not find a size or thread pitch, or a part number. I know parts stores don’t have them. Looked at the u-pull places and no luck either.

try Ace, HomeDepot, Lowes, etc.... remove a bolt from other door so you can bring it to the store to match. dont be concerned so much with the head, as thread size and length are what matters most. Torx, Allen, Hex heads will all probably work fine..

They look like the same bolt that holds the window regulator.

Maybe also the one straight up the track above the regulator.

All the junk yards have those bolts picked over? That shocks me. I guess everyone is pulling them to get door glass out and they are all lost in the dirt?

But yes, what Robsjeep said about the head only needs to be thin enough to not lift your door card too far, and I expect any thickness head will not be a problem in that application.
