Search for commercial mirrors in the gallery and the forums.
A deluxe likely would have been fitted with Elephant Ear mirrors. |

| If that is the case then I agree. Weld the holes shut and put on either elephant ears or the little round ones. |

On second though, if it's just 2 holes on the bottom, probably just some weird old mirrors bolted on.
Maybe "Baby Turbos"? The 80s were cruel. |
That's funny, I was thinking baby turbos before my first post.........haha |

It's still possible the holes were from the commercial mirrors. We don't know if the op was talking about the window frames coming with the two doors he purchased or, if they did, they may have been changed out. |
