Assuming you had a tonneau cover as an original option, n'est-ce pas? If not,
you could use the same screw on both sides. Maybe the factory put the stud
there irregardless, I don't know. As usual, I am learning.
Anyway, I think the 10/32" diameter part of my story is screwed up, but Chris
will be able to clear it up and supply the correct screws, nuts, washers, etc.

Daniel...
That is half right, for the left side of the mirror is attached to the
body with RMP0308. However, the right side of the mirror is attached
with "Stud-dash panel" fastener, nut, washer, and lock-washer. This
fastener is used to fasten the right center corner of the tonneau
cover. For some obscure reason, this minor detail was omitted from the
original parts manuals.
