Gilly need your help, Need tooling information

Gilly or anyone,

Need you help in finding the tool to remove the side mirror frame.

To make a long story short. I crack my side mirror fram. I purchased just the fram from the dealer. But the old fram is attached with a strange screw (I tried enclosing pictures they were to large but I could e-mail them to you if it would help)

Can you tell what actural size screw driver to use. I think it is a torx screw (small then #10, I have tried a #10 to large). I have also tried hexes both metric and english, I don't think it is a hex.

Gilly or anyone, could you confirm that it is a torx screw and if so what size.

thanks

I can confirm it's a Torx, unsure of the size, my GUESS is a T8. You could by one of those little Torx bit sets.

Gilly

thanks. Much gave me the confidence to look and purchase the torx.

It is a #9 got it at Sears for $2.99.
