Unhappy Vent window hardware help

I completely dissassembled, replated, and rebuilt my vent windows (68 LeMans) and in the process I lost the two thumbwheel adjustment screws that you use to cant the windows in and out for alignment to the windshield pillar. Does anyone know of a source for these? After market or used would be fine.

Thanks

Not sure if the Le Mans are the same as the Firebird. But they are available from most aftermarket places and on ebay. If I remember correctly the top and bottome on the Firebird are different. Don't remember how. Probably in length.

Do you remember what they are called or which sites have them? I've google searched myself to death and checked Ames, PY, Year One, and OPG and can't find them. Wouldn't have posted if I could find them.

It is called a vent window adjustment screw.

Thanks. I'm going to assume that the firebird adjustment screw is the same as the gto/LeMans. Those were easto find. There are also Chevelle ones offered that look exactly like the firebird ones, no idea why no one has these for 68 GTO/LeMans. Hopefully they are all the same.
