Just a heads-up if you buy these. The head of the OE screw doesn't clear a ridge on base since they didn't make the base quite wide enough. If you try to tighten the screw, you will likely crack the plastic. To fix 'er, I cut aluminum stock to act as a thick washer (plus lock-washer). I didn't get a photo of final with holes drilled. I secured it w/ ER6000. The aluminum also helps spread the force. My old bases had repaired breaks at the screw holes with epoxy, but one broke apart when pulling hard to close the passenger door (new weatherstripping). They had also been painted black which looked gomer.
The OE screw threads are somewhat special to match the captive sheet-nut in the door. If missing one like me, I bought a bag of 10 for a 1965 Mustang which are identical. They are a little tricky to pop in the slot.
