Reviews for Quadratec Automatic Billet Aluminum Mirror Movers for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Well, I just got these today, put them on, and drove around the block. Here are my first impressions...

1. Installation: Took less than an hour to do both mirrors and that's with heated/power stock mirrors, so I had to pull the inner door panels off. The video online here was a huge help, although it's not quite accurate for a 2014 JKU. I think I had 10 clips and only one electrical connection, but it was still helpful non-the-less.

2. Quality: This is where it lost a star, maybe two. For the PREMIUM price of $250, I expected to be wowed... and I wasn't. At first they seem great. They are heavy duty and nice build quality. The two problems I have is the amount of "play" in the arm and the quality of the view from the passenger side. The "play" is an up and down movement of the entire arm and mirror at the pivot joint. Clearly it's supposed to pivot and the pivot joint SEEMS very tight with little tolerances until you mount it to the vehicle. Once mounted, the mirror has a lot of up and down play which can cause it to vibrate. The whole point of these over quick detach mirrors is that they are supposed to behave just like stock mirrors. The quick detach mirrors vibrate... A LOT... and are almost useless. These are MUCH better, but they are REALLY expensive, so I was expecting a little more solid, vibration free performance. As for the passenger mirror, it's the same, but in addition to vibration the quality of the mirror is quite poor. It's the "objects in mirror" style, but it's just plain "cheap". The picture is distorted, especially near the edges and the whole thing just feels "warped". I also don't feel I get the same field of view as with the stock mirror. These look like and are in the exact same position as the stock mirrors, so I don't understand why it would be any different. They insist on selling this as a complete kit with mirrors, instead of just selling the mount. They say the stock mirrors have different diameter mounting studs from year to year and there is much better quality control if they put the whole thing together, yet it still has wiggle. This baffles me.

Overall, I'm pleased with the look. I'm pleased that I don't have to remove and add mirrors when I swap out doors and they do work MUCH better than quick detach and they are in a MUCH better position (actually usable) than just moving the stock mirrors to the frame. I'm just not happy with the overall value. These should be more in the $150-200 price range. If they didn't wiggle and if the passenger side mirror was premium quality, maybe the $250 price tag would be justified.

Fantastic design, spring longevity is in question. My driverside mirror arm no longer returns to the fully closed position without human intervention, as of now it has to be pulled in about 1/2in. Outside of that not issues with vibration and they work great with my OEM half doors.

These look OEM when my doors are off, and they retain power mirror functionality, BUT I have a few big issues with them:
1. The mirror components themselves aren’t very tight. They vibrate quite easily which is annoying. My JK idles and runs smoothly, but these mirrors jiggle when at idle.
2. The spring component on the mirrors that’s JUST above your door hinges is completely exposed. What’s preventing mud and debris from getting in there? It also makes getting the doors on/off very tricky. I’ve already nicked the tops of my hinges really badly because there isn’t a rubber cap on the bottom of the mirrors. Just exposed, sharp metal.
My issues with them are that they’re completely exposed on the bottom.

For the amount that these cost, I would recommend leaving your stock ones on your doors and utilizing cheaper ones that you can fit in your hinges while your doors are off. I worry about the longevity of these due to the exposed components from underneath, and the added difficulty and risk of damaging your doors when removing them / putting them back on.

These are great....until they break. My father gifted me a pair of these. They lasted approximately 4 years when the passenger side spring broke. My only recourse is to buy another complete set for $300. Not the Quadratec quality or support I am used to. Great product...poor support.

These mirrors were great, at first. Finally, a passenger side mirror that is in a location that actually makes it usable.

But then, the "return" spring that makes the mirror snap back into place after opening and closing the door, on the passenger side, ceased to function. Still within the warranty period, I requested a replacement. That was a year ago, and they are still out of stock.

If the replacement had been quick, or at all, or if there was an option to repair the mirror, these would have maintained their 5 star rating.

I was really excited about these. Had a different set and my wife always complained about not being able to see out of the passenger side. I installed these the same day they came. They look great! I can now adjust my mirrors automatically too! But the mirror in the housing shakes so much I can’t see what’s behind me. This is only an issue on the driver side. Tightened up all the screws holding the mirror in and it still wiggles in there. Contacted customer service over a week ago and still haven’t heard back. I paid way too much money for these mirrors for them not to work. Buy at your own risk.

I've had these mirrors installed for a little over a year, and they've been great. Good enough for four stars even. But, then one broke. I'm pretty sure the mirror got bumped in a parking lot or something, but it should be strong enough to sustain a bump or two. The spring that returns the mirror to it's spot after opening the door is broken. There's no support to repair the spring, though so the customer relations team is recommending a new set of mirrors. That's a huge expense when the problem is a $0.50 spring. It's an unacceptable consequence of a tiny problem.

If the build quality of these mirrors was a little higher and there was a way to maintain/repair them, it'd be a perfect solution. As it is, I'll sooner go back to mirrors on the doors. Not worth it.

The quality is nice BUT in the winter the mirrors sometimes dont return back to its home position and you have to roll the window down and grab it and pull it in. I complained and received new mirrors with and still same issue. I also loosened up the bolt and same deal. I had t loosen the bolt so mirror returns and now as I drive the mirror vibrates im just dealing with it now.... Oh and its summer now and they SLOWLY return home but they return.

The look of the mirrors is fantastic... Untill you are driving down the road. Passenger mirror belongs in the fun house at the circus. So distorted and goofy that it bothered me to look in it. The swivel hinge is loose on both driver and passenger side and you do experience vibration in the mirror on "slightly rough roads" I removed both the driver side and the passenger circus mirror installed my OEM mirrors in the supplied bracket. Major improvement in the vibration and viewing pleasure. I will just be tossing the 'New fun house mirrors and not buy a "Quadratec Stamped/Made" component again as my faith in their quality of components is greatly damaged.

I installed these mirrors and loved them. I like how they help stop the door from swinging open, I park on a hill in my driveway. I also like how the mirrors stay when I take the doors off, makes my wife happy.

The issue is the first set scuffed the paint on my passenger door. I called Quadratec and they sent me a paint stick and new mirrors. Not happy with the skuffing but happy with the customer service.

Now the second set is not only scuffing the paint but put a DEEP scratch in the passenger door. The service tech told me to get an estimate to fix the damage and he would send it off to his manager
I sent the information in and have not hear back from the manager.

This was over a week ago and the service tech is now not responding. Not happy!

There is a design flaw with these mirrors.
