First, find your AirConditioning vent. (Notice windows in the distance are an AutoZone Parts, This can be accomplished in the parking lot)


Next, turn it closed so the flat/solid side faces you.


Third, Take the small round mirror you just purchased in AutoZone and line it up to make sure it is slightly smaller than the vent,


Fourth, remove the back piece of paper that reveals the sticky surface of the foam tape which is on the mirror and stick it in place.


Enjoy it!


And add another to the passengers side if desired and adjust for best view


This mirror can be rotated out of view to use the Air duct as usual.

How come its only for a 2007 Jeep??

Not in BC it won't. Just like paulp575 said, Can't drive without the doors on (technically). Only the years the CJ was sold where doors were an option, and therefore not required, would it be legal.

Thank you for the write up. I did this a few weeks back and it's not a bad way to get a little help with mirrors.

Default 1/2 hour and thirty five bucks.

Very clever! Don't know if that would fly with the Michigan Po Po though. Went to the local scooter store and bought right and left Bike Master mirrors, cut the threads off and welded 3/8 bolts to them. Looks kinda ok but passenger mirror works better in lower hinge bore.

I can't imagine that being legal in CA, but a great idea!
