I was thinking it's was a bit odd to have a standard fastener on a modern car. Particularly one of Asian origins.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. But apparently, an M12 1.25 bolt will thread intro a 1/2"-20 nut... just not the other way around.

Was 50 degrees here in NYC so I did a vac, wash, clay, compound, and wax... didn't polish, clean the glass, and add sealant because I'm getting old and lazy. Will probably get to it on my next day off.

I spent some money on some much needed safety equipment, to go along with the seat i picked up the other day.

That should be a 12mm x either 1.25 or 1.50 thread pitch. The car is metric, so a 1/2" - 20 would be totally wrong.

See if some store has a thread pitch gauge and get one in metric & SAE. It will save accidentally destroying a bolt...
