Need help with a screw
Har har I know.
Six screws hold the blower assembly on the passenger side. Of course I dropped some, some heads are stripped and I don't feel good tossing them back in. They are T-20 torx, coarse threaded, 2007 S600 HVAC blower and can't find them easily nor do I want to pay $5 each because I'll figure I'll lose a few even with a drop cloth so a batch of ten is cool.
And right now I have 2 phillips with similar pitch holding it up, but my god what a PITA it is. At least torx holds on to the bit a little more.

If you're in the U.S. you might try ACE hardware, those near me have an exceptional assortment of metric fasteners. Not likely to be torx head, but certainly hex head.

You need help with a screw? I think you need to go to the Dealer to get screwed.
maybe I am wrong.....

No biggie, not listed on the EPC that I can see. Mcmaster Carr doesn't seem to list these magical ones either.

Are these the screws you're looking for?

Commonly found online for ~ $.80/ea. + shipping. I usually buy at my local dealer via their online parts catalog. So it's parts + tax + will call usually adds a few bucks. List price is $1.00 ea for these Hexalobular bolts and that seems a bit much, but better than $5.
