This question MAY belong in the Modified XJ forum, but I think not.
Some college punks kicked off my side mirrors. I had the kind you could adjust manually with the joystick-like lever from the inside. Due to cash considerations, I'm replacing them with fixed, manually adjustable ones.
Bought some from Rock Auto. Have always had good luck with them.
There are three mounting points that go through the door and "bolts" go into them to attach them. These three mounting posts ARE NOT threaded inside. They appear to be lead.
My factory parts list refers to the mounting "bolts" as "screws." They appear to be hardened metal, slightly tapered at the tip.
Am I correct in assuming that they are self-tapping and that they will cut their own threads into the lead mounting posts? Or have I been sent improperly manufactured parts by Rock Auto?
Anyone ever run into this situation? Thanks in advance!
