The Jeep Recon’s Mirrors Come Off With The Doors, But You Can Fix It With This One Simple Trick

The Jeep Recon was designed with the essence of the Jeep Wrangler, despite it being an all-new electric vehicle.

It’s a serious off-road SUV with utilitarian style and is as close to a convertible truck as you can get.

It offers a full panoramic sunroof, pop-out rear windows and removable doors, just like the Wrangler’s. Perhaps too much like the Wranglers.

As with its forebear, the sideview mirrors are attached to the doors, so when you remove them, the mirrors go with them.

Ford avoided this conundrum with the Bronco by attaching the mirrors to its body, so they stay in place when you take the doors off. An argument against this is that they add width on tight trails, but they can be folded in to fall within the span of the front fenders.

Jeep addresses it with a Doors-Off Mirror Kit sold by Mopar for $195 and will offer one for the Recon at a yet-to-be announced price.

The Recon’s version is simpler to install than the Wrangler’s, which requires a clamp and screws. The Recon’s slips into the hinge base on one end and is secured on the other by a pin on the side of the dashboard.

Jeep is expecting more people than usual to be taking of the Recon’s and Wrangler’s doors in 2026, as it has redesigned them to be removable without tools. They just slide into the hinges while the catch-arm is secured by a pin with a latch on it. Unplug the power cable bundle and you’re good to go open air.

The Recon is launching in a top-of-the line 650 hp Moab trim that’s Trail Rated and has a 230 mile driving range for $66,995. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2026.
