Sometime last year I couldn’t get the wife to swap me vehicles so I could do an oil change. Apparently she had a place change the air filter too and they lost a screw for the air filter lid.

I swear I saw that someone found a screw that matches at a hardware store. Can anyone verify this and where was it gotten?

Thanks

For the Jeep Wrangler JL, the air filter box typically uses a screw that is a #8-32 x 3/4" or 1" pan head screw, often with a washer. It's possible to find a match at a hardware store if you need a replacement. Make sure the new screw matches the thread size and length to ensure a proper fit.

Thanks! Easy button but pricey!
compared to most jeep mods that is dirt cheap :).....of course you also get the advantage of having to order something cool so you can get free shipping.....win win

The jeep dealer or ram dealer has them. Ask me how I know.
Yeah, I’m going tomorrow since they were closed today. I couldn’t find near a match at the hardware stores. I used a series of three skinny zip ties to cinch it down for now so I can go to work.

So has anyone seen a cheap replacement for this bolt? The OEM bolts are like Defense Department overpricing. 💸💸💸💸💸💸

I wish I would have known this. I bought one last summer from quadratec, it cost me the $6 bucks and another $8 or $9 for shipping. $15 for one little screw. 😢

I'm late to the show,
have only had my 19 JL 2dr Sport for 4 months.

Dropped the front screw nearest the rad after inspecting air filter.

POOF !!! Into the interdementional chasm, MIA, prolly nestled next to the missing 10 mm sockets.

Opted for the #10 x 1.25" Sheet metal screw.
You guys rock, thanks for the tip.

Wonder why the 6510157AA screw doesn't fit my 3.6l engine. I don't need one now, but curious because I find it's not easy to locate Mopar parts online.
