Default Doors off

I was wondering what the law was in Mass. About riding with the doors off. I'm new to the jeep seen. Does the rear view cover you for having a mirror.

If you look at your states DMV website it should tell you that information. As far as the mirrors, you can get relocation mounts to put them further up near the windshield. But until you get them turning your head is an easy alternative.

Default Mirrors

You can purchase a mirror that fits into the door hinge while the doors are off to comply to state laws.

Found this;

"Originally Posted by mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/90-7.htm
.....Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least one mirror so placed and adjusted as to afford the operator a clear, reflected view of the highway to the rear and left side of the vehicle....."


You should get a bicycle or motorcycle type mirror to stick in the door hinge hole just to be safe anyway.

Thanks. Has anybody had issues with the door bushings after having the doors off. Are they something I should pull out so I don't loose them.

Mine are pretty jammed in there. I just spray a little wd40 or WLG every now & then before remounting the doors.

When you remove your doors just make sure you have sideview mirrors.
