The mirror rule in Mississippi

Mississippi's mirror law (Miss. Code Ann. § 63-7-57) 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.

“Every motor vehicle which is so constructed or loaded as to obstruct the driver's view to the rear thereof from the driver's position shall be equipped with a mirror”

STAY STREET-LEGAL

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 Mississippi 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.
