Weather seal?
I didn't do anything for a weather seal. I just screwed it right on there. I guess I should check if there is a plastic membrane between the inside of the door and the upholstery. The part of the door where the mirror is screwed onto is already full of holes from the trim, so I think 2 more screw holes will not make a difference.


I guess you're right. It probably wouldn't make much, if any difference whether or not you did any sort of a seal under the base of the mirror.

From the factory, did the trim have any sort of seal where the clips meet the holes? I can't tell on mine since the trim was removed in the past for painting. Without a seal those holes let water right into the unprotected inner metal. The inside of my doors are covered in surface rust, and all the sound deadener in there is destroyed.
