glue or screw?
I am working on the wood in the back seat.
Things are lining up pretty well.
So far all the wood has been pre-drilled and just needed some minor adjustment.
The bottom joint of the rear raisers glued or should the be screwed?
Here is a pic of the joint I am talking about.

You mentioned a "furniture dowel". Is that just a dowel or is it something special.

Re: Need flat screws
What I am going to do is stop by Lowes or HD and get a bunch of the small packets. Use them as a guide.
Then I can place the order and just need to get the approximate length that is needed.
This will eliminate some of the guess work.
