Take your mirror off and drill it inside the house?

Default since this is so popular I will add my writeup here

Here are the few steps I took to drill mine out. I didnt want to leave a nick on the soft plastic of the Jeep (i will allow a tree or rock to do that for me).

I must admit, of all the mods I have made to my Jeep this is one of my favorites! It made my dad and I laugh out loud when I did it.
