My TJ came with two top-to-bottom cracks in the windshield. I'm thinking about ordering a replacement. I'd prefer that it not have a rear view mirror mount. Can you get a replacement windshield without one? Has anyone tried to do that?
New Windshield WITHOUT a Rear View Mirror Mount?
- Thread starter WLDRIDE
- Start date
New windshields don't come with the mounts on them, those are added after the window is installed. That being said, if you get a replacement window, it won't have a mount on it.
Just curious, why the desire to go without a rear view mirror? Not driving it on the street? Trail rig?
A few reasons: I like to sit up high in the Jeep and the mirror is right in my line of site. The back window of my soft top is too opaque to see very far behind me anyway, I often pull my camper with my Sequoia so I'm used to just using the side mirrors anyway, and I just really like an unobstructed view when I'm in the backcountry. (In the summer I'll take the doors off, and put the top and windshield down.)
The windshield I had installed recently had a mount on it when they installed it but my mirror didn’t fit it tight so they had to put my old mount on.
Interesting. Last time I had one installed it didn't have a mount, and that was the same deal with other vehicles I've had it done on before in the past.
I wonder if it depends on who is installing it.
Well shoot! The installer tells me that he cannot get a new windshield without the rear view mirror mount already on it.
Try a Jeep parts catalogs.. some of them sell replacement windshields.. maybe without the bracket
