eBay heated mirrors?

Has anyone purchased the heated towing mirrors that some of the aftermarket sellers are offering on eBay? If so, what's your opinion about the mirrors? I've heard that some aftermarket ones are not as good quality and that they rattle. I've been thinking about getting a set for my '02, but wanted to see what others thought of them before I shelled out the money.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks biz4two.


jake00 - Yeah, after what all I've heard about the aftermarket mirrors, I was afraid I'd have to buy the OEM mirrors. Just sucks that they cost so much.

Sure thing steve81. Wouldn't it be nice if someone (even FORD) made a direct replacement Tow style mirror like the '08 SD's are going to have??? Man those things are awesome. Power telescope, power fold, etc. Super sweet!
