What is the screwdriver size for the tailgate striker plate?
« on: May 16, 2026, 04:58:35 PM »
My 12-plate Jazz tailgate striker plate is secured by screws with what looks like size #4 or #5 Phillips heads.
Does anyone know what they are?

Bear in mind screws that look like 'Phillips' on Japenese cars like Honda are NOT Phillips, but made to a Japanese standard (JIS).  As I found to my cost when trying to remove the retaining screws on my Jazz's brake discs...

Ah, that's interesting. I didn't know. I have just ordered bits 1-3 hoping they will make life easier. Thanks for the heads-up.

Many years ago, when my daughter used to enjoy helping with DIY, and I asked her to get me a screwdriver she asked - plus or minus

That was phillips v flatblade

She was probably only about 6 but worked out an easy way to understand

Good job TX weren't around then
