Reviews for Quadratec Quick Release Mirrors with Square Head for 97-18 Jeep Wrangler TJ, Unlimited, Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK
Great mirrors, easy to use and install.
Only complaint was with the "whistling" sound at driving speeds. This was corrected with a small bead of silicone as advised by other reviewers. Shouldn't really be necessary, but it was an easy fix.
They will do the job, look great. Do vibrate a little more than i wanted.
Good addition as needed without doors in Washington state
Love these, if you tke the rubber edge off you will hear less whistling,
easy to install, all parts included
These only work if you replace the main bolt. The head of the bold is designed to be turned by hand but it is so big that you have to remove the mirror from the baseplate to put the system on or take them off. This means you have to reposition the mirrors each time you put them on. The hand turn bolt is so hard to turn that you cannot get it tight enough not to move in the wind. I went to Lowe’s and purchased two bolts for $1.58 and replaced the hand turn bolt on each side using a 1/2 socket. I was able to tighten the mirrors so thy won’t move in the wind and now the head of the main bolt is smaller and not in the way so I can take the whole system off at any time without having to reposition the mirror the next time I install them.
The passenger side mirror is actually useful with soft doors! That is, unlike mirror movers using the stock mirrors, these have a long enough arm that they work well on the passenger side. They also look good.
The could be improved, however. The biggest complaint is they are too easy to knock out of adjustment when taking the soft doors off or putting them back on. I've cranked them down very tight, using a large crescent wrench for leverage, and they still move fairly easily. I may try putting a couple of thin rubber washers in to see if that helps. They don't swing in for me when driving at freeway speeds. (The driver's side did swing in once while driving on the freeway into very strong head gusty head winds.)
A minor complaint is the whistling. Even with all the noise with the doors off, it is still annoying.
These mirrors were very easy to install and work well. I have found that the locking mechanism holding the mirror in place does slip occasionally. My driver-side mirror will blow inward a notch or two at higher speeds (70+ mph). I simply have to push the mirror back out 2 clicks.
Good mirror - Easy to install - Adjustment is simple - Causes wind whistle at speed
These work great. Easy install. They do whistle a bit but it’s a Jeep and they’re already loud anyways. Only negative is they’re very hard to use for parallel parking because it’s hard to judge distance and sit at a slightly higher height than the factory mirrors. Overall pleased. Would buy again.
