Lowering The Windshield - Jeep WRANGLER 2020 Owner's Manual

Raise the windshield as soon as the task that
required its removal is completed and before
you return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passengers should wear seat belts at all times,
on-road and off-road, regardless of whether the
windshield is raised or folded down.
Outside rearview mirrors are mounted on the doors.
If you choose to remove the doors, see an
authorized dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted
outside mirror. Federal law requires outside mirrors
on vehicles for on-road use.
