#1 of 8 Adding on mirror movers by jdr818 Dec 11, 2008 (12:52 pm)
Has anyone had problems stripping the screws holding the windshield bracket where the mirror mover bracket goes? I used a breaker bar but one of the screws still got stripped. Do I have to have it drilled out now? Replies to this message: erickpl (Dec 16, 2008 6:08 am)

Just bought a 04 Wrangler Unlimited to pull behind motorhome. I drove my 1st jeep in 1946 age 9 on farm in Western Kentucky. My Uncle brought it back from WW2. It had a breaking plow & a disc for farming, which is why I 1st drove it. I have wanted one for all these yrs, found this one & just could'nt resist. It came with 5 Micky T Baja MTZs LT 265-75R16s ( 31x11.50) & MT 16" wheels with a 2in lift, plus the 5 orignal Goodyear Wrangler tires with 5K miles on them.

Replying to: tracy3999 (Mar 28, 2009 12:42 pm) Tracy, you don't have to remove the entire assembly from the door. Just the arms that come from the mounting block on the door itself. My 'arm' and mirror came off with (I THINK) a 3/4" socket and a few turns. If you have the newer mirror style, I may be totally wrong and somebody will hopefully correct me.   Do you have the brackets for your new mirrors? Getting the Torx bits out of the windshield frame so you can install the brackets can be a challenge as those suckers are in SOLIDLY and with some kind of industrial loctite. To get them out, use a GOOD set of bits that fit perfectly. Apply straight direct pressure downward as you unscrew those things. The straight pressure and turning SLOWLY will help. A breaker bar will give you good leverage.   -Paul
