Yep thats what i thought. Just take the packer down to the local Bolt place or even Nissan to be honest and they will sort out a single bolt for you.
Note that your Nissan is Metric so you could likely take that to Bunnings or Repco and source a countersunk M6 or M8 bolt for it?? I dont think it will be M4
If you go to your local Repco or Supercheap they have one of those testing stations in the Unipac Bolt section with a thread of every size on t for you to check the nut and thread. Just screw it on there and find the one you need.
OR........ Go the Self Tapper! Its designed to break on impact as stated above by Winnie. So the bracket is bolted to the car and the mirror is bolted to the bracket with the weak link being the ring in the middle. As long as you can screw tight up to that you will not have a problem. You Self Tapper is unlikely to com loose if its tapped into Plastic and done tight.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

If I remember correctly it is just a self tapper
Yep mine is broken 2, never bother to fix it. Just used the self tapered screw to screw the mirror straight to the roof never had a problem with it coming loose
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

The round plastic in the center of my base broke out with the screw still in it. Will try to screw directly into the roof...
