Toyota Camry: Darned annoying roof-racks

I'm not sure size really matters because you're going to have to buy a full
set anyway. You'll have to look on the Internet or a 'real' local tool
store. Home Depot won't cut it for this.

What surprised me was the local Toyota dealer couldn't help,........but then
again that would be too logical!!

They sell those in tool stores - Sears? I have a set of bits for
interchangeable screw driver that are for the security hex pin head screws.

screws. 


Yeah I tried buying a 60 bit imperial and metric set on spec, thinking the
right size would have to be in there, but know.

I'll have to vernier the width of the lands to find out which special size
they are. My local Toyota dealer didnt have any idea.

Jason James <com> being of bellicose mind posted: 

Tamper resistant / security hardware is interesting stuff. You will
find Torx with a pin in the center of the socket (driver bit has to
have a corresponding hole in the center). Then there's pentagon
socket head screws (requires 5 sided driver bit). There's "D" head
screws (requires a 'D' socket driver). These special drivers are
sometimes unavailable to retail buyers ... meaning you have to be a
shop or in a specific business (like car alarms) to buy the fasteners
and their driver in quantity.

Take a look at these:

Cut a slot thru the head and use a flathead screwdriver
