NC Mirror Laws (
http://www.ncleg.net/Statutes/Genera...GS_20-126.html )
§ 20-126. Mirrors.
(a)No person shall drive a motor vehicle on the streets
or highways of this State unless equipped with an inside
rearview mirror of a type approved by the Commissioner, which
provides the driver with a clear, undistorted, and reasonably
unobstructed view of the highway to the rear of such vehicle;
provided, a vehicle so constructed or loaded as to make such
inside rearview mirror ineffective may be operated if equipped
with a mirror of a type to be approved by the Commissioner
located so as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway to
the rear of such vehicle. A violation of this subsection shall
not constitute negligence per se in civil actions. Farm
tractors, self-propelled implements of husbandry and
construction equipment and all self-propelled vehicles not
subject to registration under this Chapter are exempt from the
provisions of this section. Provided that pickup trucks equipped
with an outside rearview mirror approved by the Commissioner
shall be exempt from the inside rearview mirror provision of
this section. Any inside mirror installed in any motor vehicle
by its manufacturer shall be deemed to comply with the
provisions of this subsection.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate upon the
highways of this State any vehicle manufactured, assembled or
first sold on or after January 1, 1966 and registered in this
State unless such vehicle is equipped with at least one outside
mirror mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle. Mirrors
herein required shall be of a type approved by the Commissioner.
As far as scratching your nuts.....
Use touch up paint to fix it, then the next time, use masking tape over the
nut to protect it. I normally remove the door nuts when the soft top goes
on and don't put them back on until the hard top goes back on.

Re: Door Removal
havent seen my "nuts" in years. never bothered to put them back on after taking the
doors off the first time.
you can get mirror movers from Sun Performance, moves the stock mirror from the door
to the body. keeps you legal, although with a lot of softtops its really hard to see
the passenger side mirror.
