Most likely it is a M6x16 grade 8.8 cheese head screw.

From PET the screws are shown as part 19:



Here is the information on the part.

This is the pan head torx drive that I'm using to attach my seats. I have some extras if your interested.

Here’s a picture of my rail with the socket head cap screw in it. There’s almost no clearance side-to-side.

Looks about right.

Take one out, go to a good Hardware Store (one that has all those little bins of various nuts and bolts), a find something that has the correct geometry. Most likely a M6x15 cap screw.
