Ann, I would suggest taking one of the screws out and take it to Ace
Hardware and they will fix you up with a slightly larger screw. Could do same
at Lowes, Home Depot or Manards, if you could find someone to assist you.

I would suggest not going longer, just a little larger in diameter.
Suggest you coat the screw with caulk before replacing it.

Ya, Sam has got it right…. just remember to get stainless steel. I think the original screws were about 8-32 but it has been a long time since I've seen the originals. They tend to work loose especially in the wind.
