Side mirrors #715002459: each mirror comes with 2 bracket adapters that allow the mirror to be installed on the left or right of the cab. Choose the correct one and secure it to the mirror with 2 short allen screws. The cab model doors have two torx bolts in the right location to bolt on the mirror. Remove one of the torx screw and attach the mirror bracket with the allen screw supplied in the kit, finger tight. Remove the second torx screw and secure the mirror bracket with the second allen screw finger tight, align the bracket and mirror into final position and tighten the two allen bolts. Loosen the three tiny allen screws on the back of the mirror and do your final mirror alignment than tighten to keep the mirror from moving, remove the film from the glass. There is no measuring, drilling or removal of the inner door liner required, none of which is covered in the online instructions which need to be updated for the cab model. FYI

 
While installing my Kolpin gun grips under the center seat similar to the lone star build I was using the tailgate as a work platform. When I was cleaning the tailgate off I discovered that the rear outer edge of the tailgate has a tape measure embossed in the black PVC. It is marked off in 1/2" and 1" increments for a total of 52". Kinda neat and hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere? FYI

 
Had an idea on how to mount my Seizmik Mirrors.  I spoke with the tech team at Seizmik and they were useless.  I took out one of the M6 factory door fasteners and replaced it with a M6 to 3/8 16 stud and then screwed the mirror on and it seems perfect.

Yes the mirrors on my build are a stock or order Canam item. I have driven some trails with willows etc. and you can fold them back against the cab or they will fold themselves if something strikes them. A bit on the small side but no problem with durability other that a bit pricey.☺️

 
I do like the look of those Seizmik mirrors. Much larger than the Can-Am version

 
Not to long ago I was reading where someone used jeep mirrors, (from a cj7 off of e-bay?) and used a similar bolt system. Anyone recall or have a link. I have the Can am mirrors and after a little dust, cant see anything. Dusted over and cloudy even when cleaned. Thanks

Those look great!  I’m going with those same mirrors on my 2021 XT with hard doors.  Bought the adapter studs, too.
