Reviews for Quadratec Adventure Mirrors with Square Head for 76-24 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK, TJ, YJ, CJ & Gladiator JT
Absolutely not worth purchasing. I have bought two pairs of these mirrors and both pairs failed. The first set, driver side mirror, eventually couldn't be screwed. The second set, the exact same thing. Ill just pay the extra money for a better set next time.
Easy to install, but the mirrors vibrate way too much at high speeds. There’s also a whistling sound coming from the mirrors. Driver side mirror kept moving within the hinge as well, but I installed driver side mirror exactly how I did the passenger side and the passenger side didn’t move a muscle.
Driver side threads are too long for the JL and the mirror is not secure enough to drive past 35 mph. Past 35 mph and the mirror will fold in making it unusable and not safe.
They make the vehicle street legal without doors, but that is all they have going for them. No matter how much you tighten them, even to the point of crushing the hinge bushings, they still fold in at about 40 mph. Not that it matters, because they vibrate so much you can't see anything in them anyway. But you won't get a ticket for no mirrors, if they even write such things.
DON'T BUY.... Didn't read the reviews before buying everyone was right. They don't stay in place, they vibrate terrible. They look great until you start moving then the wind when going over 10 MPH pushes them in. Don't spend your money to then find the same thing as previous purchasers happen to you.
The mirrors won’t stay adjusted the winds makes them turn inwards !!! Huge disappointment
Well they look really good when sitting still. First off the paint on the threads is to thick and caused the nut to cross thread right of the bat. Luckily I have a grinder and was able to fix the problem. Second, the rods are to small in diameter to fit securely into the top door hinge of a JK. Third, they vibrate like crazy with every bump and start to fold in with any speed over 40mph. If you want a cheap set mirrors that look good sitting still, this is what you are looking for. If you want a good set of mirrors to use with doors off, look somewhere else. I wound is Quadratec will take these back?
Not happy with the mirrors. Couldn't wait to mount and take a ride . Vibration and mirror movement a big problem even with my constant tightening of the nuts. Don't know how far I can adjust without causing damage to the mirrors or more so to my new 2018 Wrangler. At this point, without any advice of solving this issue, you're getting these back. Another issue my wife reminded me of at speeds of 45 and above, the mirrors cause a whistling sound with the air movement around them. Can only turn the radio up so much!
This is my second set. My first set worked well for two years. after the second year, I had to tighten the bolt hard to keep this from moving (it would spin freely). Unfortunately, I had to tighten so much that I went beyond the threading. I added a few washers to compensate and reset the mirror. Even when this is tight, the mirrors fold in above 50mph, regardless of how tight it is. They also vibrate so bad that it's not even worth using.
Not tight enough against the wind, constant shaking, don't trust them when changing lanes.
