It's funny that this keeps coming up. M4x20 pilot point or dog head. If you find that screw in low quantities you are better at the Internet than I am. A regular M4x20 will work, might just be a bit harder to start the threads. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...eded-for-rearview-mirror.44325/#post-30609025

Just found this. I have not tried it, but it looks like you can buy the dog-head mirror screws here: https://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/deta...mpact=M3301120000_dog-point-headed-set-screws

I was going to recommend McMaster Carr but they’ll probably charge $10 for shipping one screw.

It keeps coming up because it’s so damn easy to lose. It just falls out of there and vanishes into the abyss.

I will try to order a few dozen that I can mail out if anyone needs them.

Last week, the screw ended up in a Kleenex box. Believe me, that was the last place I would have thought it to be. Subsequently, I lay towels in the center console area.

Smart. Happens to me every time I fiddle with my s92 digital mirror.
When my wife goes, “why are you cussing, did you lose the screw again? “ I know it’s a problem.

Yeah, last time I took it off I used duct tape to keep it inside the mirror hole. Works pretty well. Can only be done after the stage where I usually lose it.
A magnetic torks tool helps a lot too.

I’m probably a psycho, but I keep my mirror mounted. Half out of laziness, half out of my philosophy of better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Why not? Doesn’t bother me and if I’m ever driving with the tonneau open it’s a nice compliment to the cam view.

P.S. Those of you looking for one of those hitch mounted tire racks that block your cam should be remounting those mirrors anyway
