Default Mirrors to borrow?

Anyone in the south bay have a set of mirrors they'd be willing to let me borrow for a week or so? I'd like to try doorless commuting for a week and want to see how I feel about it.

go to auto zone and you can buy some blind spot stick on mirrors that will stick on to your a-pillar. i put mine on and they been on for 4 months and even after i put my doors on they dont get in the way. plus they work and they are mirrors so police wont be able to ticket you.

You may be right. I'm only doing the fronts though. Kids need doors

Good job on the improvization! Just a thought, be sure to put a rubber gasket or other gasket between the mirror and your body. Vibration or even the dang thing slipping during installation may result in unwanted scratches...

most of last week i rolled the full top and no doors to stretch it out. No issues at all even with the back windows in. This weekend i rolled it top only both fipped open and closed and again pretty solid. Quite happy with it overall. Given the weather here in the south bay, im inclined to not put the rear section back on, and just use a deck cover.
