Anyone else have issues mounting their CMM doors off mirrors on the bottom of their grab handles? I have a 24 JLUR, I prefer the way the look mounted to the bottom of the handle Plus was nervous about smacking my head on them when I get in on the top side (I'm not a little guy haha). The thumb screw when mounted to the bottom was digging into my dash. So much so that when I took them off it actually tore the leather on the dash. Passenger side was a little better, no tears, but it did leave an imprint. If they had made the thumb screws about 1/8" smaller would have cleared with no problems. Just wondering if I got lucky and they didn't fit or if anyone else ran into this problems with their 24's.

That mount doesn’t look like it goes there at all. It also doesn’t match their site either. Are you sure that mount isn’t supposed to go on the top of the handle?

That was my other thought. The mount did not sit as nicely as I was hoping it would on the handle. They don't offer a different mount for upper or lower. It says on their site you can mount it at either spot. I guess for $300 I was expecting a bit more.

That must be a new 24 issue cause Ive had mine mounted on the bottom of my handle for over a year and never has it been near my dash.

yeah, I saw that on their site as well. But if you look at the pictures.. I think they updated the mount because yours does NOT look exactly the same as their pictures. When I get home I will look at my top mounts to make sure but.. I think mine look exactly like yours. I think, off the cuff, that you got an old version. But don’t quote me. I’m just speculating right now.

I have wondered this as well, if they sent me the older ones by mistake. I just double checked my order (I have ordered the wrong stuff before) and it was for a 24. I swapped them to the top for now. I am leaving work in a few min and will take come photos of the mount installed on the top side, still not a great fit.

They definitely fit better on the top side, but there’s still gaps all around. I do think these are the 24 mounts, just not a real great fit, and absolutely will not fit on the bottom. I did call and email them, no answers yet.

When I bought mine in 2019 or early 2020, they showed top mount but others on this forum were already doing the bottom mount. I've got a lot more gap between the mount and dash. A redesign of the mount wouldn't remove any gap so maybe the 2024 handles hang lower?

Yea Im thinking the redesign for the curtain air bags, and a taller dash due to the bigger screen are to blame here

Must be a 24 change since my 23 has no issues.

The problem is that the new dashboard is higher.

Kikbax mirrors mount on the hinges and wont give you and trouble like that.

It looks to me like maybe you used the passenger side bracket on the driver's side, and vice versa. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but it's maybe worth double checking that to be sure

I thought that too, but with the angle they sit at, if I had tried to used them on the other side the end of the mirror would be into the dash and couldn’t even get the screw on the end.
