It's actually pretty easy. It took about 15 minutes. This way if I need mirrors they are there. If not then I can hide them out of the way.

I did the same thing with mirrors on my vents only I used double sided Velcro so I can still use the vents for heat when the doors are on. And to answer the question bout how well they work: with the doors off and set up right it perfectly shows ur blind spots. I ran all summer like that with the doors off and saw every car in my blind spots coming up without having to look over my shoulder. They work perfect!

I chose to put a rare earth magnet inside the vent which holds the black plastic mirror everyone is using after I glued a super thin piece of metal to the back of the mirror.. As a result I can remove mirror and not have to look at the velcro on the vent. Looks totally clean..

I hot glued a 1x1 magnet behind the front of the vent fins after bedlining (of coarse 
)
With the mirror off, the black magnet disappears into the darkness of the vent. A 1x1 rare earth magnet is pretty strong so it holds the mirror no problem..
