Reviews for Quadratec Quick Release Mirrors with Round Head for 97-18 Jeep Wrangler TJ, Unlimited, Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK
Love the mirrors, I don't have factory mirrors so I run them all the time. The only down fall is that u have to tighten the living hell out of the wingnut to get it to stay put.
Great product and well made but had an issue with the mirror arm wanting to roll in while driving at speeds over 50. Soleved this by drilling a small hole through the base and installing a small self tapping screw
The mirrors and installation are super easy. However, the quick release screw knobs, even when tightened as far as possible, still allow the mirror arms to move around. I solved that problem by buying replacement M8 1.25 x 40 bolts. The quick release screw knobs are supposed to make installation and removal easy, but since the Jeep comes with a ratchet and Torx bits to remove the top and doors, they could add Torx bolts to affix the mirrors.
These are great product.
Easy to install. Good quality. Have tendency of bending back inward in high winds. I like that they can stay on with or without doors, and the brackets stay on regardless of the mirrors.
The mirrors are definitely an upgrade over the door hinge version. These suffer less from vibration and are in a location that is easier to see. I think the "teeth" that hold these in place should be deeper. You have to crank the bolt down far to tightly. A more pronounced locking mechanism would allow for better stability with less torque.
The mirrors get the job done. I went with the round mirrors because I like the look better than the square for my JK. The mirrors are a little on the small side but you can still see behind you well enough. The knob you use to tighten down the mirror arm to the mount needs to be really tightened down hard otherwise your mirrors will move just enough from where they were positioned to where you cannot see behind you now. I'm satisfied with it, I'd recommend them.
Simple design that works. Make sure you tighten the knob screw very tight, otherwise the arm and mirror will rotate when driving at higher speeds. Could use some deeper anti rotation points, but after an extra tightening, they work fine.
work great
Decent overall, put on my LJ. The mirrors are HORRIBLE, visibility is very narrow, practically useless. They need to change to a mirror with a curvature that makes a wider field of view.
I actually bought a similar set from amazon that had a mirror that was approximately a half inch smaller diameter but with a MUCH wider fov. I kept the quadratec hardware and used the other mirrors. Now I have a nice kit.
Try again on the mirrors quadratec.
Would not recommend these in their current configuration.
