The Parts manual does not specify that screw but I believe it is a
#6 UNC x 1/4", Phillips head. I changed mine to stainless steel screws and
I can check tomorrow on the size, thread and length. Somewhere on
TigerUnited there is a list of fasteners maybe it is listed there.
You should relay the information about the your flipper window fix
to the list. It could be valuable information to the next person who is
working on their hardtop.

Subject: [Tigers] Hard Top Screw Question
Here's an obscure Tiger (or Alpine) question for the list:
Does anyone know the correct size, thread (fine or coarse, etc), etc. of
the two little screws that hold the hard top "flipper" mechanisms to the
hard top. (I just made up that term, but this is the piece that you use
to open and close the hard top side flipper windows.)
I can't get those pieces to completely tighten to the hard top with any
of the screws I've tried, so the windows don't shut properly. If anyone
knows, I'd appreciate the information. Otherwise it's off to the
hardware store to buy a lot of different sizes and try until it fits.
In a related area, I finally did figure a way to get that triangular
weather seal for the flipper windows to fit and make a "close to"
airtight seal when you do close your hard top flipper windows, so if
anyone needs that info, let me know. It takes a bit of work but it's
pretty simple.
