Don't make the same mistake I did...

Wow,

I'm really lucky because my right mirror came loose so I was trying to tighten it. While I was trying to tighten it my cousin who is very knowledgeable with mechanical things said "Hey I think that is a reverse threaded bolt". I had no idea this even existed.

Now I would have tried the same thing on the other bolt assuming it was reverse threaded. This possibly saved me a lot of time and/or frustration.
 
WTF putting a reverse thread bold on a mirror fitting. What is the purpose? A reverse thread mitigates the threat from wind blast on the right hand mirror more than a normally threaded one? Gimme a break:rolleyes:
I've got to agree with this, it really didn't work. My right mirror was the first mirror to come loose :\
