I recently took the factory bed liner out of my 2017 1500 but now I need the screws for the tailgate cover, any idea what size they are?

If you go to your dealer, start with this part number, 11570637

Or these two, M4.2X1.14X16mm. 2014-2015 are 11609539, 2016-2018 are 11611882.

Same size, these are the part numbers when you do not have the liner, the longer liner screws have a different part number.

 

I would check with another dealer, I found them sold induvial around the Seattle area. They were only a couple of bucks each, somebody is making up a lot of missed sales at $11.00 each.

You are very welcome.

 

They are the same screw that holds in your tail lights, fender well liners and so on, they are every where on the truck.

Take one out and go to hardware store, Fastenal, anywhere with odd size fasteners.

The correct part number has to be 11570637, as I bought a couple of them two weeks ago. The problem was that I couldn't find any of those screws at the local dealer. I had to order them and wait for them for almost a week, which is pretty frustrating. Someone actually told me that you could use the best bugle batten screws there as they fit perfectly, and they are much cheaper. My brother has actually done that, and it seems like they are working fine. However, I still think using the original part is much more reliable.
