Doorless Mirrors?

[The Great Grape Ape]

Yeah, they offer OK coverage, but the true dedicated mirror is helpful whcih is why I run both. Either is better than nothing and both is great. Even in winter the vent mirrors still offer added blind spot coverage which is handy with having to react quickly to people’s poor snow driving habits.

The MyGig ‘always-on’ option is nice, especially if you aren’t using the main head-unit for anything else at the time. I wish it was a default stock option for the JK and the JL units, woulda been a nice feature with tow package for constant rear load monitoring. Also handy especially with dirty / frosted plastic rear soft-top windows, as well as doorless.

I did a wiring trick in the old Rubicon to get it to work for me, but would prefer not having to run av-out then av-in like that it was a major hassle that I didn’t bother repeating wih the A-X.

Cheap mirrors from Amazon showed up today. Pain in the ass to adjust correctly, and they shake a little driving down the road.
They do the job, but I really think the perfect solution would be to find a way to keep the rear camera on. Blind spots are actually less with the rear view camera than the mirrors. The only time I find the mirrors better are when backing into a tight spot since I can see exactly where my tires are.

Nice Jeep man...love the white!

So no one in FLA or CA tried the Mopar doorless mirrors yet part number 82215138? If my Jeep ever gets built that's what I'll be getting for the summer months.

I'm waiting for someone to adapt a similar bracket with the existing exterior mounting points on the JLs (but with a much more minimal "trail" mirror). Most of what I've read is that the hinge mounted mirrors move too much at highway speeds.

Anyone find a good mirror option yet? All of the ones I’ve seen fit in the hinges and get terrible reviews

A few people on the forums have said good things about these, but they are a little rich for my blood.

Yeah those are high, how are the ones you got working out?

They work ok.... They do shake, but never seem to move out of position. My biggest complaint is probably having to re-adjust them every time you remove them. If you are alone this can be very frustrating, as I probably jumped in/out of the Jeep 15x the first time to get them in the right position.
I would love the CMM option, but anything over $100 for a set of temporary mirrors is too much for me. I wish they would offer a stripped down version without all the attachment "balls" for less.

The last post on this forum was about two months ago, has anyone found any other product that works? I have a pair that fit into the door pins from my JK, I will give them a try and hopefully they will fit, but like everyone else seems to be experiencing, at highway speeds they wobble like crazy and/or fold in, making them utterly useless for anything other than massing muster if your state requires one or two side view mirrors. I'm hoping some enterprising engineer will figure out something better, to me I don't see how they can attach to the pillar without drilling.

A friend of mine purchased a set of these and really likes them. They use a strong magnet to keep in place. Unsure if they will work with the JL.

These just showed up on quadratec site. Anyone have experience with a mirror like this on previous Jeeps?

 

[trailcat]

I used a similar mirror from Harley on my JK (I know I kept them just can’t find them) and the stem height was perfect with a black nylon washer on top and bottom to secure it tight.

Really like the way they look.. do you have any link for these?

Unfortunately not I just went to a Harley dealership and found it.

Thoughts?

I never used mirrors on my old YJ so have zero experience in this area.
