The roof frame used small screws in positions where tool access changed as the assembly grew. This Phillips-drive pack is another M5 purchase alongside the socket-head hardware.
I bought M5 Phillips Pan-Head Machine Screws as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing Driver Access Within the M5 Kit
I used M5 hardware to assemble the smaller roof extrusion.
Some nuts moved or spun while I tried to start the bolts.
My M5 purchases included Phillips pan-head screws as well as hex-socket formats.
The profiles and joint hardware during my roof-mount assembly.The drilled connectors and fasteners joining my added extrusion to the roof rack.
My Takeaway from This Job
Starting the thread and reaching the head were separate parts of assembly. This sixteen-millimeter Phillips pack, short hex-socket button heads and the mixed socket-head kit provide different driver and length choices within M5.
Compare the driver interface as well as the M5 length.

The Phillips recess changes the driver used at the joint compared with the internal-hex screws elsewhere in my extrusion hardware. Keep the sixteen-millimeter length and pan-head profile with that driver identity. In a van bracket or cover, show the raised head on the outward face and include enough room to seat the bit. The black finish is useful for identifying this pack, but the thread and length remain separate details when matching a replacement.
