Reviews for Quadratec Automatic Billet Aluminum Mirror Movers for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Great mirrors for when the doors are off.
So far so good, I have motobilt brackets on windshield so I had to grind the metal down on the back of the brackets so the mirror bracket would fit snug.
Mirrors installed very easily and allow nearly the same field of vision as factory. My only issue is that the springs don't move the mirrors back to their resting position very quickly after the doors are shut (sometimes they don't get all the way back without help). All in all a quality product; I just would have expected the springs to work more effectively in returning the mirrors to resting position, considering how much more force it takes to open the doors with these installed.
So far so good, they are very slow returning to the proper position
First thing is to take off your OEM mirrors before installing the quadratec door blank and put them on the Quadratec arms use the screw that holds the quadratec mirrors to reinstall your OEM mirrors. it might be a little tough to get the OEM mirror out of the door bracket so use some WD-40 to loosen it up. The Quadratec mirrors are like circus fun house mirrors. I think it is a little to much money for just the aluminum brackets but now I don't have to install my old mirror when I take the doors off. Wish that Quadratec would just sell the door blank and the arms, no mirrors.
They work, however, the mirrors either wobble slightly (because the swivel screws arent tight enough), or don't close all the way to the door (because the swivel screws are too tight) -- was very annoying to try and find that sweet spot (I eventually gave up and removed the mirrors). Also, the power cable runs through the joint that swivels. While messing with tightening and loosening the bolt, it was annoying having to avoid (move around) the cable (didn't want to pinch it and ruin it). They work great when the doors are off, but kinda suck when the doors are on as the screws would either tighten or loosen themselves over time and would have to be adjusted. The concept is great, the design kinda sucks.
Good mirrors and great for door on or off driving. Passenger mirror doesn’t have a large enough stop on the billet that fills the stock hole on the door. This has caused the bottom left edge of the mirror to scratch and rub the paint off. So far, customer service sent me a supposed fix after about a year of having the mirrors on. Initially, the fix worked, I even used two of the foam vibration spacers. However, I’m now back to the mirror resting on the door when opening and further rubbing off the paint.
These are the best solution to the doors off mirror problem. The keep the mirrors in the same spot as factory regardless if doors are on or off. I would have given this 5 stars, but one of the springs that returns the mirror head to its position broke and Quadratec doesn’t sell or stock or offer parts kits for these mirrors.
Love these mirrors but my knees and shins hate them. The door will never stay open.
Meh. I don't love them. The mirrors themselves are cheap. One of mine arrived not intact and I had to work at reseating it more than I'd like, and I'm hopeful it stays. Once in place the mirrors bump my doors when they are on in a way I don't think they are meant to, but they are good mirrors for doors off, which was why I got them. I'll go back to the factory mirrors on the doors when I put them back on, because they are definitely not as good as those. I'm disappointed in the quality for the price I paid on this one.
