Like other have said. Literally 3 minutes from computer to garage to jeep to this follow up post. The bit I used was a 5/32 and it looks perfectly factory! The Jeep had been sitting in the sun and I had washed it this morning. The initial drips had left their white streak and had stopped. Both sides sprung another leak once opened up.

Cool!

I just relocated mine to the body, as my doors are rarely on.
As of yet, these have no water retention issues.

Can anyone comment on the 09's and let us know if we still need to do this with the 09's or if they have fixed them?

I'm currently makeing a list on microsoft word with a few different quick mods from the forum. (drill mirrors, Led lighting (on dash and in footwells), rotate antenna so it won't contact lights on the windshield brackets, probably going to go with cooltech CB antenna mount, and I'm still searching for a good post with some pictures of where I could mount a full sized CB. There is no way I can be with out that. lol.

Default What if I don't drill?

If I don't drill do I risk having my door rust under the mirror mount? I haven't got the guts yet to drill my mirros

You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Just how much guts does it take to drill a little hole?
