1984 Hatch Striker bolt / hardware size

Noticed last night one of the bolts on my hatch striker plate is not original (too long) and plate can wiggle a bit. Not at the car now so can not see the original one.

Does anyone know the bolt size for the OEM part so I can swing by hardware store before weekend to get one?

Better to take the _good_ one with you and get a correct match up...

Also, note that over time, the flat rubber grommet used as a shock absorber on the latch plate that goes through the glass will shrink with age resulting in a latch plate with a bit of play in it - which is normal. If you wanted to prevent that, you could cut some felt or thin neoprene sheet to the exact dimension of the latch plate and install it between the glass and the plate. This will remove any play and also use your original, cross-head screws.
