Default Soft Top Door Surround Knob Bolt Size?

I need the bolts for the door surrounds of an OEM soft top. I have an unlimited, so I have 4 bolts the same length and 2 longer?? I just need to know the bolt size, specifically the length. Anyone want to run out to their JK and measure for me??? I would really appreciate it!!!

Honestly, I'm pretty certain mine are all the same length. Is there a difference between model years?

I am not sure if there is a difference. I got a soft top but no hardware, I just read somewhere that they may be two different lengths

I really want to say the bolt itself is an 8MM best way would be to pull one and take it to a hardware store.

If I had one, I would. My family bought me a used soft top but it came with no hardware, so I am looking for the size so I can go to Fastenal and get some so I can put it on...
