Have a 2006 B9 with no roof rack or rails so I bought the cross bars used but they didn't come with he bolts. I popped the rail caps off to look inside to see what i may need, as the bars have not arrived yet, and there are two threaded holes that look like they want to be the mounting hardware. From my searches it looks like i need E361SSA070 bolts... does that seem correct? Are they really $17+ each and I need 8? Anyone know the the bolt size and thread pitch? I have seen M7x1.0 but that seems strange... Also seen M6x50 which other than not giving the pitch seems way long but I am not sure. Picture below if my description isn't clear.
Thank you for your help.

Do you have a junk yard near you? MIght be the best option.

It has to be a standard M6x1 screw. Factory part may have a Torx head and/or pre-applied thread locker, but basically you just need to make sure the length is correct so it doesn't bottom out. You can buy stainless screws in the hardware aisle, just get a couple of sizes to try.

Found a set and yes they are regular M6x1.0 bolts. Thanks for the help!

Hi, Could you advice where you bought the rack, preferably with a link?

Thanks a lot!
