    Coat the screws with antisieze before attaching the mirror. This will prevent corrosion and make them easier to remove should the need arise.

    You can also buy an individual tool to install these. It works kind of on the same principle of the nut and bolt like Jeff posted (thanks, good info!). It is a collar that you run the bolt through... if memory serves right, it is serrated at the bottom ... It was a long time ago, but I think it was $5 at Ace Hardware. You just have to know what screw thread size you need.
