Best mirror for use with Bestop Fabric Doors

[Prepneck]

I've enjoyed my Bestop fabric doors for last couple of years. Unfortunately I've been unable to find mirrors to provide good view behind each door. Can anyone recommend a product? I searched archives to no avail.

We typically recommend the 51261-01 TJ style replacement mirrors with ABS plastic housing for use with our soft doors

I use scooter mirrors for 17 bucks. Cheaper and better than CMM.

But the link takes me to this pages which suggests these mirrors are NOT for your fabric doors. Those are the doors I have and need to find mirrors that work. My first two mirror attempts failed as the view to the mirror is blocked by the fabric door.

I see where the confusion is here. But again the website is telling you to use the same part number I recommended. The website is using the text for the slotted (metal) mirrors for both sets here it seems. I'll get that corrected, but as long as you choose the solid (abs plastic) version 51261-01 you'll be good.

I received the replacement mirrors as you recommended, but unfortunately they do not fit on the body of the truck but rather are only designed to fit on the factory doors in place of the originals. As I mentioned in the original post, I am searching for mirrors to use with the soft doors, not the factory hard doors. What do you recommend now?

These install onto the soft doors.

Gotcha. But then I'm left with no mirrors when the doors are in the back of the truck. Please, I beg you, help me find a body-mounted option which I can see through the soft doors when they happen to be installed. I've tried a couple of other frame-mounted options but due to the door design there was not a clear view to the mirror.
