Default tow mirrors

Alright, so I just got my Tow mirrors off eBay in the mail today. As soon as I opened them up I could tell how cheap they are. I put them on, and boy was I right...I'm terribly dissatisfied...the power motors are complete crap, the mirrors shake as soon as I start the engine.

Has anyone had these problems? Or are they all like that and people just deal with it? I'm pretty bummed I spent $200 on pieces of crap

mine shake a bit cuz of engine idle, they're fine when you drive. Mine are also great quality, I've swiped a tree backing up with my passenger mirror while offroading (nice move) and it was fine.... Which ones did you buy

I just bought the ones off eBay, they all seemed the same to me haha. Hopefully I just got a bad pair and they will replace them...
