Default Where to find interior trim screws?

I was cleaning out the Bird today and noticed I'm missing a few trim screws. I suspect whoever had the car before me had a some sort of sound system in it, and did a half *** job putting the interior back to gether after taking it out.

Are these just standard screws, or do they have to be bought from the dealer? I was thinking of checking the "Help" rack at Autozone, they have all kind of things there, maybe I'll luck out and find the screws.

Thanks!

If you find a large Ace hardware store, they usually have a good assortment of the screws. (Not all Ace stores do - only the ones with large hardware sections.) There are some in Chicago that stock the washer head screws, captive cone washer screws, and captive washer screws. You may also find an assortment in the Help! section of your local auto parts store.

I checked the Help! rack at AZ today, no luck. They had some, but they weren't the right size.

I'm missing a ton of them actually, the one that holds in the bezel around the pass. side door handle, and ALL the screws that hold in the trim piece that goes across the door opeing from the kick panel back.

I don't know how I don't have a ton of rattles, it looks like there are hardly any screws holding the interior together. I don't know how I never noticed this before.

The trim that holds the bezel around the door handle is called a "black washer head screw." I found the exact one at a large sized Ace. I believe I found the trim screws (with the captive conical washers) there also, but I am not 100% certain.
