Jack,
    Thank you kindly!!  www.google.com returns 219 results for "mirror
screws".  Most seem to be in England but there are a few in the US.
Thanks again!

    Hello Don
In England the screws that you refer to are called mirror screws (cos
they are used for fixing mirrors).
There is how ever a different type which has a plastic rebated washer
that goes under the head of the screw.
Then when the screw has been fully tightened a chrome cup is clipped
over the rebated washer.
This second method I prefer. Both types in England can be purchased in
most hardware DIY outlets.
I trust this has been of some help, Regards   Jac.

  Hi all,

  Please look at the photo "screw" in the photos section and tell me if
  anyone has seen anything like this.  They are used on my door panels
  and the pedal box.  They're chromed.

  The cap is smooth and screws into the top of the screw after the
  screw has been "screwed".  Get it?

  They are very nice looking and I would like to get more of them.  I
  partially ruined one trying to get it off before I figured out that
  the top "unscrews".  I've tried upholstery shops, etc. with no luck.

  Does anyone else have them on their car?  Were they original??

  Any help, clues, etc. would be appreciated!
