Non of the morror kits work on the right hand side when the door is on.

With RR, i do not have any problems with taking the doors off and only complain i have is that the factory mirror don't fit the way the intsructions state. other then that, it function as advertised.
Did you have to mod the mirror or just the same issue with the mounting screws?

Is the right hand mirror completely blocked? It's my wifes daily driver and she's 5'2" so she has the seat moved waaay up.

The Warrior brackets are crap. I installed them Sunday. They vibrate so bad that you cannot focus on anything. They also make it so that even with mirror angled all the way up, I can barley see a car next to the driver side. A full size truck looks cut off. I ordered the RR brackets today.

I received the kit today and am having the same trouble. Also, the mirror does not fit well in the new bracket. Anyone else having trouble with these? Wondering if there is a bad batch out there.

I'm going to call Rugged Ridge tomorrow and see what they say. They are on the other side of town, so I might drive over there so they can see what a crappy product this is and see what kind of luck they have installing them.

I called today and they seemed to be very familiar with one issue; the factory bolts not fitting in the hole cover in the door. The person that answered the phone did not know anything about the mirror not fitting in the bracket. She said need would elevate the issue to their technical support group and call me back. Have not heard back yet.

She was sending out new hardware though.
