Thanks for the correction, Curt. I'd always wondered why 'posidrive' 
screws were used--I think posidrive is a relatively recent 
development--and why regular phillips drivers worked in them (I think 
posidrive has a steeper angle of the screw blades). I have a posidrive 
screwdriver, but I usually grabbed whatever was handy. Do you know of a 
source for the correctly marked screws?

Do you know if the backing flat washer was tapped (I don't think so, but 
I'm not sure). IIRC there is a tapped plate that binds the 
screws--again, chromed--that attach the rearview mirror.
