power mirrors are heavier than manual ones..and the metal base is potmetal -
every time you open and close the door it will stress the base of the mirror
if you dont add the 3rd screw..  over time it may crack.   i just drilled a
hole and ran a stainless sheetmetal screw in the bottom hole. worked fine.
