Hello all!! Bought rugged ridge from eBay couple mos back and I just had the time to try it out doorless . Passenger side mirrors are ok. Driver side on the other hand is almost facing down and I don't get it. Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for all the help.

Drivers side looks like it should be flipped around.

They are very stiff but you can move the mirror so that it faces where you need it. Just grab it with 2 hands and make it move on the ball joint on the back.

Correct. The driver's side arm is installed backwards.

They're pretty simple but great little mirrors.
Kinda wish they were rectangular though.
I mounted mine lower cause I think they look better.

I just put mine on today as well, you need to take the drivers side off at the thumb screw it has another set of holes drilled in it. Twist it 90 degrees and reinstall,then it will be at the correct angle. Don't feel bad I swore at mine for a few minutes before I figured it out.

Pull the mirror out of the plastic round piece completely then place it back in the other hole
