Review on ALAVENTE Windshield Bracket 2007 2017 Wrangler by Brian Forbis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best ratio of price and quality!

Two things they would do better. The entire back of the mount must be covered with closed cell foam, not just the part that "touches" the paint. Second, these mounts could flex a little more toward the windshield to reduce headlight vibration. The current setup pretty much mounts the light on a "hard" diving tower. Vibration can be annoying if you're looking at the headlights while driving, but you should still pay attention to the road. With all that being said, I added my own closed cell foam to the rest of the mount and slightly flexed the mount so it was in contact with the windshield (foam on glass) to eliminate the vibration. Tip number two: you need to use a shorter wiper on the passenger side or the wiper will get in the way of the bracket. I have a 13" wiper on this site, the factory size is 15". I had to buy new wipers during the installation, so it wasn't a huge hassle for me. Despite all those minor modifications and the "extra cost," this mount was $40 cheaper than the next best alternative on the market.

Pros
  • The best in their niche
