Yeah mine works fine(esof) it just pisses me off that the hubs are hard to turn, seems like a crappy design (or I got ones that weren't than care of), my 06 F350 the hubs rotated sooo smooth, the X hubs don't even come close

They should turn easily. Take them apart and lube them or drill a hole in the dial and soak them in ATF.

are they not painted all the way to the mirror? does that mirror housing come apart in half? someone opened their door into our ex's mirror at my wifes work i believe, and broke the housing.. 
i think i can superglue it tho if it comes apart
heres a picture.

Looks sweet! How does the paint hold up when extending/retracting the mirrors?

Up to this point, your new Excursion looked good. Especially since you hadn't put those God awful
4X4 decals back on it. But.... in my opinion.... the red mirrors are just way too much.
Color keyed mirrors look awesome on a black truck though.

I must say i am not a big fan of those painted mirrors, but it would look awesome if you only painted the mirror housing. not the arms and attachment to the door. or maybe paint that the tan color? i dont know but its your excursion not mine

to each there own lol
i hate black plastic with a passion, like my explorer which i painted every plastic part to match, i'd like to do the same with all my trucks. color match FTW lol
just doing the mirror "cap" and not the arms/base looked unfinished to me. i wanted the whole thing matched.
