I was wrong about it being an Allen screw. According to the drawing, #4 is a TORX screw.

There shouldn't be that much difference in the mirror mounting hardware. I haven't seen a Base setup but every "stick-on" mirror I've ever worked on was the same basic design - "wedge" plate glued to windshield, mirror bracket held to plate with a set screw. Only big differences have been the type of screw head (Torx, Allen, &c) and whether or not the screw was hidden by a plastic cover. YMMV; no telling what car manufacturers will do.
