So Much Better Than Expected, SUPER Easy Install!
I ordered a pair of these and was so happy with everything about them that I really wanted to write a review. These mirrors are absolutely great!Starting out, I received these in record time, it said 2 day shipping but I believe it came in 1 day. Upon opening the package everything was neatly and safely packaged (as seen in picture 1). After unboxing I checked out the quality of the mirrors and did a dry run of putting them together before starting on the Jeep (Picture 2).After noticing the excellent quality of these mirrors I decided to move forward and went out to my jeep (Please excuse the mud). The mirrors came with everything needed to install but I chose to use the stock bolts that were already on my jeep just so I could keep the same bolt heads as the rest, they were the same length and worked perfectly. As you can see in the pictures, I decided to post pictures with the doors on so that the comparison with the stock mirrors can be seen, picture 3 and 4 show that the location of these mirrors are ideal for when the doors are off, they match up with the mirrors that you are used to, great location!The last 2 pictures posted are one of the things I like best about these mirrors, when you decide to put the doors back on you do not need any tools to take the mirrors off. Just loosen the hand adjustment, take the mirrors off, and put the hand tightened bolt back in. As you can see from the pictures, it looks good without the mirrors and with the doors put back on.Anyone that has driven their Jeep with the doors off knows that mirrors are important, not only for your safety but also because it is the law. These mirrors have not only met my expectations but have far exceeded them. If you are looking for a good quality mirror for far less than most others that is easy to put on and take off, this is the purchase for you. Take my advice and get yourself a pair of these!

Good buy for the money.
The media could not be loaded. This is a really good buy for the price. In the state of NJ it is illegal to run with the doors off and not have at least a driver side mirror. I'm sure its like that in other places too. The mirrors were packaged quite nicely with bubble wrap and air bags to keep from shifting in shipping. These were relatively easy to install with just a few basic hand tools and and if you were lucky enough to get the door removal kit in your glove box when you bought your jeep then you already have to torque wrench you need to install the bracket in the preexisting holes on your jeep. If you look at the pictures attached you will see what i'm speaking of. Al the necessary hardware needed for this job is provided in the packaging. The visibily in these mirrors can be adjusted but it is going to require to people to fine tune to your liking. Making an adjustment is quite simple with the quick release bolt to rotate in about a 200 degree semi circle making the positing fit any body style tall or short. I have a backup cam so they are a nice edition when backing up. When your done using these mirror they have quick release screws that you could either take them off and store them in a safe place, or you can rotate them forward out of the way of factory mirrors when putting the doors back on.

Poor Engineering
As others have mentioned, it’s hard to align these in such a way that you can actually see without them. Used them on my JK because stock mirrors don’t reach far enough for me to see with my half door tops on. These weren’t much better. The angle the holes in the arms are drilled at is funky, the bends don’t seem perfectly symmetrical, and the holes were a bit too big. As for the complaints others have had about them coming loose, I had no such issue. A box end wrench applied properly to the given bolt and you should be able to get it plenty tight. Though I do wish these came with an Allen or torx head bolt to match the rest of the hardware on the jeep.

Whistling and arm movement from wind.
Well, I took a gamble on these. Packaging is good to go, quality of manufacture seems very good, engineering....not so much.So, the issues lie in three places:1. Whistling - this occurs at low speeds ~20MPH. It persists, obviously, at high speeds but gets drowned out by road noise.2. Mirror tension - this is due to the ball that interfaces the back of the mirror to the arm. It simply is too loose to keep the mirror in the same spot if you hit a decent bump.3. Arm tension - the bracket that attaches to the Jeep is heavy duty, which is good. What is bad is that is too heavy duty to allow the knob to compress the arms into the spindle that holds the arm. I figured this would be an issue to I cranked down on the knob as hard as I could without stripping the threads, this was ineffectual I was to find out. What this results in is a collapse of the arm when you reach high speeds and/or a decent bump. I was passed by a tractor trailer today and the change in air movement was great enough that the arm collapsed so that it was facing the passenger seat. It's real fun trying to fix that at 65MPH (I didn't try past rocking the arm back out). When I got home this evening I put my full doors back on after removing these mirrors. On both sets the spindles show no wear from the bracket - that means that there is almost no friction between the spindle and bracket.Conclusion - For $35 they aren't bad, but they aren't good either. I'd rather have paid$50 for a set that at least didn't have movement issues, I can live with the whistle. These will likely be going back as I look for a better solution. My 33-year old CJ-7 mirrors are better than these...FYI - the brackets on mine had foam backers to protect your paint. That was nice.EDIT 11/2019 - I was contacted by the seller shortly after posting this review in which they stated they were going to send me a new revised version which addressed my complaints. This never happened.EDIT 8/2021 - I can say that my purchase of these was a complete waste, I have been unable to make them work utilizing some MacGyver engineering. In 2021 they still have not made the product any better based on other Verified Purchase reviews.
