Go to the local hardware store and get the bolts used for toilets....no joke! The take a little bit of grinding to get the heads to match the originals, but for 15? a bag you can't beat the price.
Take an original with you for comparison. If I was home I'd run out and get a pic for you but if you take a bolt in they should know what your talking about. |

Something like fourth from the left on the top. The ones I picked up are threaded the entire length of the bolt.
Edit-here is what i picked up, the lines on the head give you some guidance to where you need to grind down to match original. |

If Jeff did get the last batch off ebay, then anyone still needing them may want to use Jody's idea which is a good one. Stainless carriage 10-32's are available at McMaster part # 92356A265 for 1&1/2" length.

Dont worry, they werent the last set- the same seller has been listing and relisting those bolts for over a year. They'll pop up again. Edit: Theyre actually back up already: ebay For $15 you get enough bolts for at least 2-3 windshields... seems like a no brainer to me! |

Anybody have a current source? I can't seem to locate any on the Taylormade site or anywhere else.
I found these but I have no idea if they're the right size/shape. Any leads on some would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

I would try contacting them. Should be easy if you can find anything else they are selling.
