What screws are used to mount internal sunvisors (flip type)? Are they the as screws used for rear view mirror mounting?

Alan, my car has panhead self taping screws to hold the sunvisors. Rear view mirror has 3 counter-sunk chromed head metal screws.
Hope this helps.
Clive

Alan,
Self tapper for visor, metal thread for mirror, there is a captive nut in bracket above to hold mirror on both my cars.

They are a self-tapping thread screw - round head non-countersunk.

This as opposed to the interior mirror which has captive nuts behind within the top rail and accept raised countersunk UNF No. 10 screws @ 1/2" depth (same thread as door lock, oval ignition bezel, speedo surround etc.)

The parts book does list both the visor & mirror as having the same identical (RMZ) type screw... but the visors are in fact self tapers... which are 1/8" (coarse) thread.

Thanks everybody! I have the mirror fitted. Just wanted to make sure before I start putting holes in my new hood lining.
