Tailgate "bottle opener" bolt size

[Meintc]

I had my dealership install my tailgate assist. When they did, they didn't fill the hole with the bolt From the "bottle opener" so I need to get the bolt size and thread of a replacement bolt to fill the empty hole. I've search here and I haven't been successful. Any help would be appreciated.

Take one off from the other side for size.

I believe it’s M6x20 countersink bolt.

Ford has it listed as MR6X20 Plate screw..

The original bolt is Torx T30.

Click related parts. The bolt on the parts diagram is HS3

Thank you very much. I was able to bookmark this page as well. Most helpful.

I went right to the hardware store and picked them up. Oh and the salesman I spoke with asked me about my Maverick. He wants one. I told him I had to wait 13 months and that the 2023 order banks were closed. He has an F150 and he said he'll take it through this winter and then try to get a Maverick.
