How put sport mirror on replacement passenger door? - Ford ...

There is a cool little thing called a NUTSERT or a RIVNUT

It works a bit like a pop rivet. You drill the right size pilot hole and then using a special tool that looks like a pop rivet gun, you just slip the nutset into the hole, squeeze the tool and leave behind a mounted threaded nut that the mirror bolts to. Just like the factory mounts.

A local shop may have a tool you can check out. I have a couple tools and find them very handy. The nutserts come in aluminum and stainless steel. I use the steel for mirror mounts.
