Reviews for Quadratec Automatic Billet Aluminum Mirror Movers for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Pros: Best option for mirrors (Mirrors x2 if you go doors off regurally); Relatively easy to install, though there is some time involved; Good visibility on passenger side: passenger side is in nearly identical position; retains heat and power mirror; added benefit of the spring in the mirror('s) arm('s) when doors are on: holding the door tight to avoid dinging your neighbors doors.
Cons: Installed today, and after 1st 2 HR Sunday drive, there is a noticable but very slight wistle from the passenger mirror. Clarity of image from mirrors is not as clear as OEM MOPAR, confirmed after windex and windows down.
Other Notes:
TOOLS! For this install specifically Torx bits, non-marring auto trim removal kit (big plus), snips, and flashlight. Stock up! Have the necessary tools ready and save yourself some time and hassle.
After installed, these mirrors will acctually assist the Jeep owner from door dinging another car, and assist in door closure. Jeep owners are conceincious in parking lots, at least I am, and recognize their doors have no retaining springs or spring hinges. These mirrors, and their spring arms add some retention to the doors flying open. Also, much less force is required to securely latch the door when closing.
Mirrors install as they were supposed to. This may not sound like a glowing review, but it is... I am used to anything that is not OEM (on everything, not just Jeep stuff) being about 15% off - holes don't line up quite right and need some adjusting, things just being a touch too large or too small, etc. Not so here - the install was not quick, but everything went in and fit exactly where it should have.
I have been waiting for a powered version of the mirror movers - this should make it easier to get going with the doors off (not having to put on those mostly-useless safari mirrors) and actually be able to see when I change lanes.
Very happy with this purchase. I initially tried the Rugged Ridge Relocation brackets, but the passenger side mirror was useless with the doors on. Next I tried the Smittybilt quick Disconnect mirrors. They were alright, however they tended to droop at higher speeds. They also began rusting within 2 weeks. Finally found these and dropped the extra cash. I’m very happy with them and have 0 complaints after a month of them.
Also works with Mopar 1/2 doors!!!
I thought I would share as I did not see that mentioned anywhere and was worried they might not work when i ordered them.
Installation was very easy, though i varied from instructions by taking my doors off before routing the inside wiring.
Great mirrors, work well, passenger side mirror is setup tilted inward farther than drivers side, still looks good though, so far good quality. Best after market mirrors I've found.

I love these things so far. The installation required removing the two hood cowl screws so I could flex the cowl out far enough to get the mirror wire through. I went this route over flexing out the panel as shown in the instructions. Also I did not route the wires thru the same hole as the wiper fluid hose because just below that opening is another huge access hole that is not used on the 2017 JKU. I dont know about other models. As an added bonus since I park sideways on a slight hill, the mirrors add just a little tension when opening the door. Now I dont have to worry about holding the door with my toe so it dosent swing out and hit my neighbors car.
Easy install, clean factory type look, the doors come off and on easily even without help, the wiring harness worked perfect... only thing I changed was mounting the wire harness. I moved it to an even easier area to access since I take my doors off and on frequently. The Quadratec wore harness allowed me to do this with ease since it came with the stock clip. I drilled 2 holes at bottom of dash. Great product!!!
WOW wiring was super easy as was the overall install, the mirrors sit very still no wind vibration at all. the springs on the mirrors push a little on the door, but very tolerable for great mirrors. the only glitch i had was me being an idiot i cut into my rear window washer tube when cutting the grommet to push the wires through. but that's easily repaired.
These mirrors are absolutely genius. So much better than the cheaper mirror relocation kits. Clean factory look. Just take your doors off and go. Easier than taking the quick release mirrors on and off. Best of all, you don't have choose between power/heated mirrors and doors off! They work perfect. Side benefit - because the swing out mirrors provide some pressure against the door it keeps the door from swinging wildly out when opening. No more yelling at the kids to be careful with the doors every time they open! Easy to install. Flawless operation. I freaking love these mirrors!
