Default Do the Trail Ridge towing mirrors vibrate?

Hey guys, I've been driving my Ford lately while I have my Ram down for some repairs/ upgrades. Anyway, one of those upgrades I want to do is towing mirrors. I recently put some ebay Chinese special towing mirrors on my Super Duty, and am happy with them the $80 I spent. The passenger side mirror inside the housing vibrates over 60 mph. It's usable, but not my favorite... Amazon has some 2nd gen dodge mirrors with the support brackets for around $60. I'm really tempted by them as they have 4 stars, but some of the reviews say the mirrors vibrate. Is that just par for the corse for big ol' tow mirrors that stick way out like wind sails? Or do the Trail Ridge ones that everyone recommends that cost 2x more not vibrate?
Thanks in advance!

No complaints with the trail ridge sold by 1a auto, ive bought several set over the years, make sure you get the support brackets

Hi, I just installed Trail Ridge tow mirrors. They're made well. The passenger side glass moves slightly when driving but not significantly.

Thanks y'all! Pulled the trigger on them since they were on sale with the brackets for $120. Should be here before the weekend, hopefully I can install them before next week.
