Just for kicks the best way to make rubber washers(instead of Duct tape ) is old rubber floor mats, or any thin with the right amount of rubber for your application will work well. Not to be rude just saying, thats what I always do.. JOE>

Warrior brackets do cause the mirrors to shake excessively, but it is easily cured (2 minute fix) with a strip of duct tape acting as a washer between the plastic mirror surround and the metal bracket (I'll write more if anyone needs details). Suggest you use search function for the Rugged Ridge feedback on other threads.

Warrior Mirror Bracket FIX
If you use Warrior Products Mirror Relocation Brackets on your JK, here's a way to stop the mirrors shaking & vibrating with a 2 minute fix. With the countless fitting and viewing-position problems of other manufacturer's brackets (see other threads), I.M.O the Warrior brackets with the fix below are the best option for legal no-doors wheelin' :
The stock mirrors relocate onto Warrior's brackets and vibrate at all speeds to the point of being near useless because the outer plastic mirror casing moves and isnt tight to the metal Warrior bracket (allowing vibration to travel to the mirror) so add a washer between them. A correctly sized nylon washer would work, but even simpler and better fix is to insert a strip of duct tape :
- fold a 4-inch length of black duct tape onto itself (sticky side in) so you finish with a black strip ½-inch wide by 4-inches long.
- curve into a circle, creating a washer, and put it between the metal Warrior bracket and the bottom edge of the black plastic mirror casing.
- when you tighten the Torx screw and pull down the JK's stock mirror into the Warrior bracket, the duct tape washer squeezes into the void (and out of sight), preventing the plastic surround from moving and SUBSTANTIALLY reducing the shaking & vibrating mirrors to a normal and expected movement.
ENJOY !!!

I ordered them, installed and wept... in my opinion, it's fugly! Also, RR seems to have missed out. The only way to get the factory mirrors to fit, would be to modify the mirror tap that goes into the bracket. So - I just dismounted them, and went back to original shape.
