The M6 x 16 screw (torx hd) in question fits my '00 9.3 CV. It holds in the plastic trim piece on the truck lid where the two license plate lamps are installed. As I recall there are similar screws on the 9.5 Aero. SAAB part is 92152043. Eeuro stocks them and says they also hold in the IDM's. Question, I need to attach two small "D-ring" clips (for straps on a hitch mounted Thule bike rack) using these two existing holes. I purchased two M6 X 40mm cap head machine bolts at HD because they fit into the same Metric Guage (in the store) as the OEM M6 X 16 I removed from the car. They do not screw into the car more then about three threads before they bind. When I measure the diameter of the original it is 5.79 whereas the diameter of the replacement measures 5.92. The thread pitch looks identical. Length is not an issue. Should I just try similar size screws from other sources? Thoughts, ideas welcome.
