Hello guys. I am looking for bolts for original cross bars for my 2010 Expedition EL XLT. I bought my car with just one original cross bar, the other one was missing. I bought one pair of used crooss bars in eBay, but they came without the bolts.
Do you know, if these bolts are same as for 2002-04 Explorer? I found a set of these bolts for reasonable price in eBay from 2002 Explorer, they look exactly same as mines, but the seller was not very helpful in identifying whether they fit my Expedition too.
I live in Europe, thus shipping costs are a bit higher and you can forget a return.

I lost one and replaced it with a stainless screw and washer. I think it's a 6mm x some length.

I keep tools in the truck anyway so grabbing a philips screwdriver isn't a hassle when I move the bars around.

From my online search, the 02-04 used an entirely different rack/bar assembly, where the bars had a cam type lock. So I’m in doubt of the accuracy seller’s description.

That said, I have a hard time imagining Ford would shift pitch/thread count on something like that and keep the design the same.

Personally, I’d take a gamble on those.

I'd make a visit to the local pick a part and take a sample of them from various years. They look identical to my 2000 explorer.

Thank you all for your answers and ideas.

I think so??? I'm not 100% sure, but it sure looks like the right bolt.
I don't know how much they're going for on eBay, but this should be it if you wanted to get a new one: https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-cross-rail-eye-bolt-5l2z78551a28baa

Thank you for your link. The provided link is for Explorer 2009-2015 and Lincoln Navigator 2010-2017. But it gave me the Ford Part No 5L2Z-78551A28-BAA and FordPartsGiant says the same bolt fits Expedition 2007-2017, Navigator 2007-2017, Explorer 2005-2015. I believe it fits also Explorer 02-04, because I checked the pictures and it looks the same.

With this number it will be a lot easier to get them. Thank you.
