Default relocated mirrors

I took my mirrors of the doors and installed the blank plates that come with the rugged ridge mirror relocation kit. the mirror relocation brackets did not work for me because they interfere with my AEV snorkel. What I need is a mirror that attaches to the pillar (not the door hinge) because I want a permanent solution. Is anyone running an AEV snorkel with relocated mirrors and if so, aside from the hinge mount, which one works with the snorkel?

These attach at the pillars at the same spot with the snorkel. A little bit tight but it works. Rugged ridge mirrors($60) for the pair. Sent from my iPad using JK-Forum

I do not recommend the quadratec quick release round mirrors. I love the mount and arm but the mirror glass SUCKS! You can not see anything out of them. I spent another $20 and got wide angle mirrors from advanced auto to replace the quadratec ones. You might have better luck with the square mirrors. I would recommend looking for a wide angle mirror.

no doors and a snorkel? does not compute.

Had the round rugged ridge mirrors before. Just put the rectangular quick release ones on. Sight picture is good even with the doors on. Only thing I had to do was trim the rubber around the mirror that was closest to the body to stop the whistling it was causing.
