Anyone know where I can get these plastic screws from?
The plastic screws which hold down the rubber tread on my nas rear step have faded and need replacing.. I ordered some M4 x 15mm replacements from fleabay but the button head is too small. I've not found any sort of genuine replacement when I've done a google so any help/advice pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. TIA Thumbs Up

They look like metal pan head screws with a plastic cover.
If so measure the plastic cover's width and depth and then do your search.
Sorry, but otherwise no idea.

Are they machine screws or self tappers? > 110 XS Double Cab

They're little plastic screws which have a washer and nut underneath

Just an idea, but would black plastic number plate fixing screws work ?

I didn't think of those... I'm sure I've got a bag lying around somewhere so will take a look.

Last resort might be to take them off and spray them i suppose...

The other option is spray paint- being plastic as long as it’s cleaned and degreased well it should stick OK. 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2

Number plate screws are typically m6x20. Plastic ones will likely discolour again, as well as being low strength.

Personally I would fit black stainless screws with washers and nyloc nuts underneath.

Available cheaply on ebay, amazon etc. Just type in m6 black stainless pan screw, nut etc. The nuts and washers don't necessarily need to be black. Could use natural silver to make sourcing easier.

Bolt examples.

Thanks but that looks like a plastic rivet, these are definitely screws which allow you to remove the mat for cleaning. I've ordered some from one of the links that Hank posted and see what they look like when they get here Thumbs Up

ok, though they looked the same as the ones on the discovery 1 rear bumper.
