Hi Again,
So I bought some new half doors and I'm debating whether to get a set or side mirrors to directly install on each door or get mirror relocation brackets and use the mirrors from my existing full doors and mount them to the windshield frame. I do have a cheap set of mirrors I can use when I take the doors off, although they vibrate at high speeds, but I am usually not on the highway with the doors off, which is kind of why I bought the half doors.
I have read that some of the mirrors labeled "half door" are only to be used when the upper door skins are taken off, otherwise the passenger side mirror isn't visible.
1. What mirrors are you using if you have the door skins on? Or is there any way of extending the passenger mirror to make it more visible?
2. Also, any brand that you recomend? I like the chrome looking ones, but I read some brands, like Smittybuilt, end up chipping and peeling off. I saw a good deal (which worries me) on OMIX-ADA at Quadratec but with only one total review I am skeptical.They do come with a 5-year warranty though. { I won't even consider Rugged Ridge since both products I ever bought by this brand broke during installation. I guess I have Wonder woman strength or something}
3. Are the relocation brackets worth it? Any brands/models better than others?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
