Default Mirror relocation

I recently relocated my mirrors so that I can take my doors off...duh..
After all is said and done I realize that I cannot see my passenger mirror from the drivers seat(with doors on)?? is this common or did I buy the wrong brackets? Everything fits like a glove so I think the brackets are good. Do I need some kind of mirror arm extention??

Very common issue with the passenger side. You can go with new mirrors or just live with it and use the rearview and drivers side.

This is exactly why I have a set of Warrior mirrors I pop into the hinges when the doors are off. Sorry, sux.

Yeah after relocating the passengers side mirror is pretty much worthless with the doors on, I put one of the round spot mirrors in the bottom corner to help out

These look like a good solution when the doors are off, but you obviously have to remove them to put the doors back on.

I use these. They maintain the stock mirror location. They take a negligible amount of time to put on and take off. They are perfect.

I also put a Wide angle mirror on my mirror, Mine was rectangle though picked it up at auto zone.. the only reason i look in the mirror is to see if a car is there and your head is already pointed to look beside you.. wasnt a big deal to me! I like the look of stock mirrors with doors off though, I live in FL and like to do it as often as possible!! Most of the other mirrors IMO look bad but that is just my 2cents to each his own!!
