I have one but haven't put it in yet...however, a few weeks ago I put in a
new driver's side one I got at Parts Place, and it stays put.  I did have
to tighten it a little out of the box, but once I did that I didn't have
to mess with it anymore.  The Bus Depot mirror sitting on my desk looks
like exactly the same item as the Parts Place mirror, right down to coming
in the same box, so I'd expect the quality to be about the same.  My only
complaint is that the mirror surface on the Parts Place one is not
completely flat -- there are distortions at the edges.  This isn't
serious, though, just slightly annoying.  The Bus Depot one seems to be
flat.
