how easy/quick is it to switch mirrors from door to bracket? and do you have to reconnect something for the defrost to work? those look really nice and sturdy

Edit: i see this on their site:
"If you have power mirrors, you will need to purchase a new set of manual mirrors (Mopar JEP 82215138) to work with these brackets.
JL/JT Power mirrors have a long cable that runs inside of the mirrors and down into your door. Fortec does not recommend cutting the cable for the power mirror in order to use your current mirrors with these brackets. "
Yeah at first glance I thought that would be awesome, maybe even keep blind spot monitoring, but then realized he had to get manual mirrors. I love my tube doors anyway, so really don’t want to mount on the door brackets, but real mirrors are nice for busy roads. Of course without doors and a roof on, I don’t have too many blind spots.

I didn't use the mirrors on the the doors. As said I purchased the mopar mirrors Mopar JEP 82215138.
If you're looking to put ANY doors on, tube, soft, obviously these won't work.

I had these on my JK, and loved them. I've been waiting for Fortec to make these. I ended up purchasing these for my Gladiator. Everything finally arrived this week.

Yeah. Just snug seems to be fine. They don’t move at all.
