Hi, I am looking to buy replacement screws to do hinge repairs on this model. I am having a hard time finding the wide head screws that anchor the hinges to the plastic top. There are 3 of them at the bottom of each hinge. Does anyone know the specific size I need, and where to buy? I know AGParts has screw 'sets', but I only need the wide ones, I have plenty of the rest of the screws. I have found screws that fit but they are not wide enough to overlap the hinge, so the hinge just pops right off. Thanks for any information on this!
