I took 2 long bolts and cut the heads off, so that I could use them as studs. I screwed them into the reinforcing plate about 1/4", and fed them through the mounting holes from inside the door. I put some dabs of Right Stuff sealer on the plates before installing them so that in the future the plates would stay in location should I ever have to remove the mirrors.
With the 2 studs sticking through, it's just a matter of carefully mounting the mirror and gasket by first bolting the mirror in the 3rd hole that has no stud sticking through, then the other 2 bolts one at a time. Just make sure you do this before the sealant has time to cure.
