What ever was in the package. I held them in the window which allows you to compare to the wall thickness to make sure they were not too long.

How long were your screws. We are afraid the screws that come with the clips will go all the way through. Ouch

My mirror fell off as well. Brilliant!

Mirror clips from home depot and a screw gun. Problem solved.

I just installed simple mirror clips. I used shorter screws, though. Mine only went into the wall 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

A very easy job.

Thanks John!  We wanted to put it up with clips but we are not contractors and don't have any idea how to put them in the wall. So the Mirror Mastic sounded like the best solution for us.

Just picked up my new 2016 180 Friday and had mirror clips installed at the factory, they must have had to many complaints. They are just simple mirror clips that augment the mastic the factory put on. if you have a new mirror the mastic will help. Mirror mastic is specially formulated to not eat at the back of the mirror causing Black spots. It's $4 a tube. I would do it as I've seen to many stories of mirrors falling off, think about the jostling these thinks go through during a long trip.

I have read some of the solutions for the mirror issue in the 180. I went to Home Depot for clips and they recommended Mirror Mastic (a specially formulated adhesive for mirrors).  Does anyone know anything about this??
