This may be in a thread somewhere but I've never been good with the search function, if so, please supply a link. Otherwise, here goes...

Finally installing a pass side mirror and will be taking off the door card, etc. I assume I'll want to drill a small pilot hole from the inside through the nut so the holes are in the right place.

Any other suggestions so as to not "hurt" a perfectly good door and paint job??

TIA.

You’ll want stainless steel screws, which shouldn’t be too hard to find. It’s an M6x1.0 Philips oval head. Don’t forget the rubber base (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
