No Door mirror relocation

[avei5150]

Does anyone know if anything is in the works for mirror relocation following the removal of the front doors? I know previous options inlcuded mounting a bracket on the windshield mount point. I know that doesn't look like an option right now. Does anyone have any thoughts? I also believe this may cause an issue with the BLIS system, since I believe it will want too display the the alert in the mirror. This may cause an issue if you try and do some sort of relocation.

Any thoughts?

I would like to know as well. Previous relocation kits used the windshield mounting but that is not an option anymore.
You would think Jeep would offer an OEM solution or stop mounting mirrors to removable doors.

I mounted my JK mirror that was mounted to the windshield on the JK. I attached the d shaped aluminum bracket to the new door attachment bolt, tightened the mirror in place. It is lower than normal mirror, but works no the less.

Carolina Metal Masters. $$ but they are great so far.

How do those attach to the grab handle, and are they easy to take off and put back on? Assume these vibrate less than door-hinge solutions?

I used my old JK side mount mirror, had to relocate mount bracket to the new door attachment bolt. It is a little lower to look at, but keeps me street legal.

This one was a cheap $50 mirror, work goods to 50 mph

Dietech is supposed to be updating their JK brackets for the JL. My new JL is here in a few weeks, and if Dietech doesn't have theirs out yet I may see if their JK bracket plus a pair of JK mirrors will fit the JL right.

In a perfect world (?), the new Dietech brackets will allow me to wire my OEM mirrors with the little blindspot warning etc. into their bracket. I can do the electrical tracing and connecting easy (I'm an IT guy) but I need the bracket!

Fudgepoop makes a good point. FCA should construct their mirrors like these Quadratec JK mirrors in the first place ...

EDIT: Quadratech said they plan on making similar mirrors for the JL, but no date was given.

I’d also be very interested in how the Carolina Metal Master mirror mounts to the A pillar grab rail...

It appears that you bolt a bracket, then the mirror comes on and off quickly leaving the bracket there all the time. Neat solution. I can't figure out why someone hasn't made a simple mirror that uses the stock Jeep bolt to put the mirror on. You can buy this with a GoPro mount as well, or delete it. $250 and 20-30 days ship time. I can live with $250, but I don't care for the long wait time. They have some nice stuff, but pricey. Here's a link and a pic attached (shows how the base is mounted) because links always go dead sooner or later - https://www.carolinametalmasters.co...-1-ball-mount-solution?variant=13869523435581
Still thinking about it because I am yet to find a perfect solution for me personally.

Why is it that every aftermarket mirror is either simply square, round and the ugliest mirror you've ever seen? No one can add a little style or flair to the mirrors? Look at any Harley-Davidson mirror or aftermarket, and you have a hard time picking from so many great styles. That's been my biggest delay is paying a pretty good buck for ugly.
