Cheap Garbage Rear View replacement Mirror

So I bought a replacement mirror and mirror mount from Classic Parts.

I go to install it and the Philips screw head holding the ball arm to the mount was stripped. No big deal, it has both Philip and Hex head.

Next, I go to mount the mirror to the arm and the mirror is so loose you can not tighten it enough to hold it still. Mirror sinks with the slightest vibration.

Call Classic Parts and the "tech" says if you think it is defective, ship it back and I will compare it to the others in stock. If it is not defective, I will ship it back to you without exchanging it. EFF them! He would never see anything wrong with it and ship the old one back because they are all manufactured SH**TY!

I then figured it just needed a little space taken up on the mirror arm so I installed a thin wavy washer (Not too sure of the actual name) and she worked great.

I hope the attachments work...

Picture #1 shows factory stripped screw.

Picture #2 through #4 show how to repair their SH**TY manufacturing!
