Default I Need Filler plates for new Mirrors

I purchased some side mirrors that would not get mounted on my door on line a few weeks ago. I have been looking at getting just some filler plates to cover the unsightly holes that are left behind when i keep my doors on, because i'd like to run with the new mirrors on at all times.

I found a warrior product part number S1506, but looking around prices seem outrageous... 26 bucks 30 bucks for 2 small pieces of steel.

Has anyone gone through this before, and what or how did you fix the problem.

Any help given is much appreciated, Thank you!

If I were you I'd run through home depot or whatnot. There HAS to be something you can use and glue/two sided tape in place.

When I bought my mirrors from mopar they came with a round cover that utilized the factory screws to hide holes .. im sure someone else out there makes them. Goodluck!

Contact Rugged Ridge also. Haven't seen the filler plates sold separately, but maybe they can hook you up.

I bought the same thing Interceptor on this page has,

I attempted putting them on yesterday, but it looks to me like i have to modify them a bit to work, I'll let you know how they are if you look into them.

But, i definitely NEED something that's going to cover the OEM holes.

Scotty had a good idea. HD or Lowes sells a plastic plate that goes on the wall behind the door to keep the knob from banging the sheetrock. I think they come in a 3" and a 5" disc. 3 will probably be to small, and may have to cut down a 5 a little. And they can be painted to match your jeep.

Curious whether or not there was a solution found? Have the same issue & have been searching the forum for a couple of days.

Ran into a similar situation, RR told me they do not sell the filler plates separately. I had to buy the whole kit. Afterwards, I didn't like the look, and went with their round Mickey-Mouse mirror setup.
