    WTB; Hardtop striker and latch bolts

    I'm having trouble sourcing them locally, and need 4 bolts for the side strikers, and 6 bolts for the side latches. Yes Garagestar sells a security bolt set, but I don't see the need for a $35 set of bolts, if I'm using the stock latches. If anyone has the stock ones, lmk.

    Thanks

    Why don't you run to lowes and grab some hex bolts? I replaced all of my hardtop bolts with hex ones from lowes.

    That's kind of a last resort. Maybe black cap screws or something less noticeable? Of course I could just paint the heads :shrug

    Maybe you can still order them from Mazda? I think most available will still be installed on folks cars, unless they have swapped them out for garagestar bolts. Does anyone know the part numbers?

    They will keep your strikers from being stolen
