Ok so I need to pick up some screws to mount the radio back in the car at lunch. And I left the only screw that I had at the house. What size are the screws that mount the radio back into the dash?

I call them Supra screws. Little black screws that are all over the car. There are a couple of different sizes, you need the smaller ones. I have hundreds of them in each size

Your post is a bit vague, though I think you are incorrect. The screws that hold the radio into the dash are not used anywhere else on the car. They're M5 machine screws that are 18mm long with an 8mm hex head (secondary philips screwdriver socket), they're quite uncommon actually.

Thanks Jeff
I thought that was what the service manual was saying but I wanted to have someone verify. Hopefully I can find some of those.

Jeff nailed it. Have fun trying to find them, I never had much luck...

If you cant find them anywhere else, I'm sure you can still get them from the Toyota dealer. They will be pricey though for screws.

Better to just find someone parting a car, and offer a few bucks for the trouble to ship them to you... that's what I did. :)

Also, the screws that hold together Crescent tool kits (the plastic "display" cover over them), I have a bunch of those, they seem like they might be the same (or close enough for most people) to work well enough.
