Rearview mirror screw for dash cam

[perpetuality]

Hi guys, I got a Fitcamx for my Lightning and I think I lost the longer screw it comes with. Does anyone know what you'd call this screw? It fits 10-24 threads. I've looked at Home Depot and Lowe's and didn't see it. Going to try Ace Hardware tomorrow. If I don't find it there, I'll reach out to Fitcamx. Just hoping to not have to wait on shipping.

That has a cone point, typically seen with a headless set screw. Not gonna find one of those with a pan head at Lowe’s.

I'm guessing this screw is being used as a set screw and not for joining. Depending on what the set screw point is applying its pressure to, you could try a regular machine screw. Or just get a regular set screw and use an Allen wrench instead of a Phillips to screw in.

I used the original short screw for my install. The long screw bottomed out before the mirror was secure.

That's good news! I'll have to try that this evening. I attempted that, but wasn't getting the threads to engage. I'll push a little harder lol. Thanks!

Still couldn't get the original screw threads to engage with the plastic mount in place. Swung by Ace Hardware, and while I couldn't find a screw with the cone point, a 10-24 1/2" length worked like a charm. If it comes loose in the future, I'll look for the cone point.

Put some loctite thread seal on it perhaps to hold it in place, just in case, maybe?

Probably want the blue loctite in case you ever want to remove it again

When I bought my Fitcam X that screw was missing. I used the original screw to hold for the interim and installed the right one once Fitcam sent it to me.
