I've Been Thru 3 Yes 3 Side Mirrors!!!
 

Ok guys here's the scoop. My original driver side mirror broke, so I purchased one from eBay just like I had for the original one. The OEM one broke a long time ago hehe, minor fender bender. Anyways the original driver side mirror from eBay which was over 1.5 years old was FLAWLESS. So that fu88er broke, grrrrrr, so guess what? I got another one of my trust eBay mirrors since they are inexpensive. Well guess what? Any speed over 40MPH the god damn glass, the actual reflective part of the mirror, starts fumbling, and shaking around with the wind. Like it wasn't steady. So I returned that one got another one from A DIFFERENT seller... SAME DEAL!

I realize that all these mirrors are the same just priced differently, so I exchange this one hoping my bad luck goes away. Guess what? THE NEW ONES MIRROR/GLASS PART IS VIOLENTLY MOVING AROUND WITH THE WIND AS WELL!

The mirror sits FLUSH with the door, it is on VERY tightly. I give up and going back to OEM it's just so much more damn $. Anyone have any input/information/ideas/or similar experiences?

No suggestions, but I guess this is a perfect example of "you get what your pay for".

Yeah but dude I have dealt with over 4 ebay mirrors all of which meet or exceeded OEM quality. I think these sellers just have a bad batch or something. I recently purchased the passenger side mirror that one is fine.

Try www.partstrain.com

A friend of mine orderd some Altima mirrors from them and they looked like they were a fairly good quality.

Well I sucked it up and ordered an OEM one for 140 shipped from Pinnacle nissan. www.nissanparts.org EXCELLENT prices.

I'll let you guys know how that mirror goes but again I just think these aftermarket sellers have a bad batch.

if you have more problems you really just need to find someone on here with a parts car... get oem quality for much less than $140...

Yep, buy used OEM :p

Yea you can usually find one for about 50

go to your nearest junk yard or check pep boys
