Oh, someone moved them is all. The circles are where the mirrors go.

Yours look like this?

I want to move my mirrors for my tube doors, but i dont want to make them dysfunctional either, i actually use both mirros (former truck driver, it's habit)

You can get the factory mirrors through any OEM Vendor and reinstall them on the doors, it's just 2 bolts for each mirror.

They arent cheap, around $100 each i think, or maybe find some in the for sale section here that somone replaced.

I think it's a situation of the grass being greener on the other side. I've had multiple jeeps over the years, and I ordered my first one with half doors, after that I vowed never to buy half doors again on a daily driver. They are loud, leak, and inconvenient. My current jeep is a third vehicle so it lives in the garage with the top off. Half doors do offer better vision Offroad. I would prefer half doors on this rig.

Daily driver. Glass sliders had replaced the stupid zipper windows, but they were still a pain. I don't think anyone makes glass sliders for the JK upper half doors yet, but I could be wrong.
