Door Screws for 2000 Grand Prix GT

I dropped the door screws in the holes when trying to put back in. Instead of taking panel off again and starting over, I'd like to just throw 2 brand new screws in and call it good. Can anyone help me with a part number or a source for purchasing these 2 obscure little Torx head screws?? Please?
 


Maybe a dealer. I know they are a T30 torx head with a coarse thread. Personally I'd just pop the panel off again and dig them out as now you could have a rattle in the door if they made it to the bottom. I've done this a few times and found that a magnetic bit is your friend. In a pinch I've used a small telescoping magent to get the screw started in the hole and then the torx bit to finish up. After numerous window regualtors you kinda get used to it, lol...
 
Seems like a good JY part. I take a ball of that butyl they use to stick the plastic to the door, and put it on the end of my torx bit. Holds the screw in place even if (when) i bump it on something.
 
Are those retainer clips like a one time use deal or not? I bought new ones and used them but afraid to remove the door panel again and not be able to re-use them. Then I'll need to order more and so on. This was supposed to be simple!

Do the dealers have a lock on all the manuals and parts lists for these cars? I just thought a quick internet search and I'd be in business. Don't care to work with most car dealers. Thanks for the advice.
 
No. You can go to gmpartsdirect.com and try searching there. Has most diagrams the dealers do.

And the plastic door panel clips can be reused if you remove them gently. I actually have the tool to do this, but a screwdrvier can be used carefully. I've had my door panels off so many times its not funny and the clips hold up fine.
 
Junk yard best bet and those plastic must be removed with the tool to reuse the but I got a box of 100 off ebay for like 15.00
