OK - so we established that these are the ONLY torque screws on the Jeep that have NUTS on the back. And boy, are they fun to get to.

There you go........side mirror with relocation bracket. Instaed of being on the door, it is on the windshield frame. Now the doors can be removed and I still have side mirrors.
