I was changing the mirror because it got destroyed by a hit and run *sigh*. I'm not a car person but it looked like an easy install and it was. I lost 1/3 screws that hold the mirror together with the car. The mirror is secured and it most likely won't come off by just driving but I am worried that it will come back to bite me in the ***. Do you guys know the type of screw and if so where can I buy one online?

 

Did you lose a screw or a nut? It should be 3 nuts holding the mirror to the door panel, with the threaded studs being molded into the mirror itself.

Nut part number: 94050-05080

Its a 5mm nut, standard pitch (if memory serves me right).

 

Cost more to ship a lone nut or screw than the cost of the nut/screw itself. Just pick it up locally.

 

Thanks, man that is the one.

 

Yeah, I noticed. Hopefully, my local Pepboys, AutoZone or home depo have them.

 

If you can't easily find locally a replacement 5mm flange nut, alternatives can be:

• 5mm nut and washer
• 5mm nylon insert locknut (Lowes have the Hillman 4-Count 5mm Zinc-Plated Metric Nylon Insert Lock Nuts for about 68 cents)
• 5mm nut by itself

 

Thanks for the tip man. I will definitely keep that in mind.
