Pod Light Brackets?

I’m just guessing here but, I would say it a mount for a mirror when the doors are off?
Those are mirror brackets when you take your doors off. I have the same ones on my Jeep. I replaced the knobs with bolts because I use these mirrors every day.

I have the same ones on ours.
It's so much easier to leave the brackets on the Jeep.
I would use these mirrors all the time, but the full door frames hit them before the door is fully open... and I would have to remove and plug the factory mirror mounting holes on the doors.
Too much hassle/cost,
I am thinking about switching over to actual bolts though, as these plastic knobs are difficult to get tight enough to keep the arms from slipping; especially after the serrations on the spacer/bushing are even slightly worn.
I also wish the mirrors didn't whistle when going over 40MPH.

How do these hold up in increment weather? Like snow, heavy wind/rain? I thought about doing this same thing to my Jeep.
I have no issues with mine. They've been on for I think 2 1/2 years now. I do put RainX on them when I treat my windshield.
Update, found the mirrors that came with it in, perfect for when I will take the doors and top off for her on the 4th!

Without intending to be snarky, "who cares"?
The set of new mirrors, arms, and brackets is only about $40 IIRC.
Replacing them every 4-5 years is no big deal.
Because if I'm driving and there's 50 mph crosswinds, etc, which are not uncommon where I live, I want to know if these mirrors are going to get slammed into the side of my door or not. The OEM ones can take it.
