Took off my side view mirror to put different mounts and the proper hardware to mount it. Got the mounting kit from Year One. The mounts are to small for the holes in the door. The old mount in the door has some kind of ridge on it to hold it in the door. Did I get the wrong mounts? And how do you get the "ridged" mounts back in the door? Any suggestions would help. New mount is on the right and the old is on the left in the picture. Thanks!

I had a difficult time with the "replacement" ones I got from a supplier. They spun once installed. I ended up using some nutsert type that grabbed the sheetmetal better. I also put a small dab of loctite red on them before I installed them.
