Purchased soft doors and looking for a set of mirrors I can use with the doors on and off without swapping . I purchased the ones pictured but poor visibility with doors off and no visibility with doors on . Any suggestions with pics are greatly appreciated . TIA

So I bought the Lange mirrors, which are great with doors off, but I couldn’t see the passenger mirror with my bestop soft doors. I extended the mounting rod on the passenger mirror, and I’m now super happy with the solution. I used them today actually.

How did you extend the passenger side? Did you cut and bend a longer rod?
The rods are aluminum, so not something I could do myself. A local welding shop cut them and added length in the middle.

Edit: They tried making a new one first, but the aluminum kept cracking when they tried to bend it. So adding straight material to the existing piece was an easy plan B. It has held up great, and even with the length, hardly moves at interstate speeds.
