Default Need help with a picture of factory screw

One screw, maybe two different? I have NOT documented is the correct "Boot screws" for the door side and car side of the Boot used for PDL, PW, or Both. I have some sheet metal screws in my car that I know are wrong. I am going to install PDL in a 70 with a friend and would like his screws to be right. anyone have a picture?? Thanks, FB

On my 73 the A-pillar side has no retainers just is held in by the boot lip. On the Door side the boot has 2 lips that are held in by two plastic press-in pins.

Default these boots were made for mounting...

...however, my 72 has the provisions but no hardware was ever used...so this is interesting, on my boots are 2 ears and each has a small pinhole as it would make sense to use a plastic clip as a screw would not work (will post some pics soon)...my doors have the boot hole cut out obviously but on the top & bottem there are 2 small dimples that line up with the ear holes...but they were never used (drilled out)...also both boot ends have ears & holes but the cowl side has no dimples.....looks as though someone was slacking when they built my car
