Hey I just bought an 08 altima 2.5 s and someone has had the center console loose on it and forgot to put the rear screws back in it. Anyone got any idea on the size of these bad boys

Welcome to Nico! The interior screws are general sized and normally fit in a few locations. So what i'm getting at is take a screw from a different location and make sure it fits the hole your missing a screw. Then take that and match it up at a hardware store. :bigthumb:

My center console was the same way!!! The dang thing squeeked everytime I took a turn! But I took a screw up to homedepot and found out that you can get a screw that works perfect for the center console for a buck (3 metal self drilling screws). But it is a #10 X 3/4" pan head phillips self drilling screw. It is under the metal screws and made by crown bolt. Hopefully this helps anyone that has access to a home depot!!!

It may be a #10 from the factory but the reason they fall out is because the #10 is likely stripped. I had to up the size and switch to a sheet metal screw (bigger threads) to get it to stay in.

Very well documented issue and I was also a victim. I just drilled in some machine screws from my toolbox and boom.
