The mirror rule in Vermont
Vermont has its own take (23 V.S.A. § 1305): The equipment-subchapter mirror statute applies only to motor trucks and vehicles towing a trailer or semi-trailer; no general passenger-car mirror statute was found in Chapter 13.
“All motor trucks and motor vehicles towing a trailer or semi-trailer shall be equipped with a mirror not less than five inches in diameter”

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 Vermont 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.
Vermont requires periodic safety inspection under the DMV Periodic Inspection Manual; its mirror/body criteria were not reviewed here and may be stricter than the statutes.
