Sun visor/top catch thread size

What is the correct thread size for the two screws that go into the windscreen frame for the catch on which the convertible top latches onto? Is it m5-0.8? Mine looks to have been botched by the previous owner trying to cross thread something in there.

Is it a captive nut in the frame? I'm thinking I could repair it by running a tap in it.

Bump bump bump the fiat goes on the bumpy road.

FYI I measured everything two or three times and settled on m5-0.8 x 16mm. Ran a tap through the holes. Cleared it up nicely.
