Part #:
The new side mirrors have a nice hole inside of the housing that leads down into the arm that holds the mirror. Jeep did try to mold a drain hole into the bottom lip where it mounts against the body. They then put a nice foam rubber pad in between this and the body effectively sealing their own drain hole. While surfing one of the various JK forum’s out there I saw a post about drilling a hole in the bottom of the mirror arm to drain the water out.
I took the first mirror apart to see how it looked inside, but drilled the second mirror while it was on the vehicle.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
