2013 Thunderbird truss rod cover screw size?
« on: March 12, 2020, 07:59:18 AM »
Anyone know the screw size for these?  It's the black flat-headed ones for my TRC cover.  One's gone missing.  I guess I'll need another round of toothpicks in there.  Amazing how quickly the screws won't tighten down anymore.

You are applying too much force, son. Alas!, the vigor of youth ...

Most of us here - feeble as we are - have to call their wives for help when unscrewing a TRC.

Hah, I have to adjust my TRC at least a couple of times a year.  I don't think my wife would be too happy, especially if I call her Sharon.

Nothing wrong with adjusting a truss rod that often, especially on a younger TBird. Just don't screw so goddamn hard.

The truss rod cover.

I don't traditionally go for truss rod covers, but this one is HOT.
