Does anyone know what size the screws are above the instrument cluster or what the part number would be for them? I am missing both of them.

I believe they're just standard sheet metal screws. There should be clips the screws go into. Maybe 1/2" long if that.

LoJac963 is right, Just took one out and measured it and this is what I came up with. Around 3/4" long though.

Hey guys,
Not to say anything about what you said... I just figured a little more needed to be address.
Remember that screws not only have length but they have thread type (the determination of how hard the thread is at the end), thread pitch (the degree the thread is facing up or down), thread winding (whether the thread has few or many threads on the screw), and also the diameter of the screw.

Then you have to figure there are sheet metal screws that are flat at the tip, or self tapping (pointed)... and so on

This is why I asked this similar question about my center console and my steering wheel cover in a previous thread

Are the center console screws the same size and pitch?

Thread count and pitch would not matter nearly as much when screwing into a standard clip. If you were trying to match an actual bolt then yes the count and pitch would definitely matter.

For these you could literally hit up any auto parts store and buy a pack of screws off the shelf and they would work. Some packs even come with the clips also.

^^^^^^What he said ^^^^^^

Or go to a car stereo shop and they will have drawers of them.
