Anthi4078 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Hey everyone, I recently picked up a set of the factory tow mirrors for my MJ. I’ve been looking into making them heated to help with being able to see behind me on my way to work in the morning. I am just wondering if anyone has ever removed the glass from the mirror housing and without breaking anything? Is the glass glued in or is it held in some other way, perhaps with the rubber seal around the edge? Any help would be appreciated. Also I know I could get 97+ mirrors that are heated but I like the look of the tow mirrors, just want them to defrost. I’ve added a picture of the mirrors I have.

saveevryjp1998 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Carefully remove the black rubber gasket. It holds the glass in. Then it falls out for access to the swivel fasteners. Iirc, there are rivets that hold some kind of cover over the ball socket(some years have past since). They are very simple. The hardest part is finding a set with the sockets worth a damn. One could probably swap the sockets out with something similar in the junkyard without anyone being non the wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 did you grab the inner door brace with them? (#5 in that diagram) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthi4078 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Ah ok I guess I’m lucky then cause mine are nice and tight. And I bought a set of doors and these mirrors were on them so I’d guess the brackets are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfortier Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 FWIW, the mirror can be removed from the outside mount and replaced, if necessary. I had purchased these to go on the outside mount, since the mirrors themselves were in poor condition: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A0NEES/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
