The mirror rule in Maine
Maine's mirror law (29-A M.R.S. § 1913) only kicks in when you can't see the road behind you, by looking back or through the interior mirror. A doorless Jeep with a clear back window usually doesn't trigger it. Load the cargo area, run a trailer, or zip on a soft-top window you can't see through and it does. Most doors-off drivers add side mirrors anyway, because the factory ones leave with the doors.
“unless there is attached a mirror or reflector placed and adjusted to afford the operator a clear, reflected view of the highway to the rear of the vehicle for a distance of at least 200 feet”

Put your mirrors back
Your factory side mirrors ride on the doors. These mount to the hinges or the A-pillar so they stay when the doors don't. Every link goes to Amazon.

Do you need doors at all?
We didn't find any Maine statute requiring doors, but we couldn't rule one out from the official code either. The equipment rules (mirrors first) are what usually draw a stop.
Maine also has an annual safety inspection under separate rules; equipment standards there were not reviewed here.
