Unclear whats defective...............housing, motors, casing or just the glass.

If just the glass I would avoid buying 3rd party manufacturer items and try to source the correct items depending on which yours has. Some are chromatic i.e. auto dimming and heated.  Do check as there are various glass mirror pamels depending on market and car spec.

If buying off ebay ask seller by ebay messaging if all claips undamaged, not leaking fluid - (if chromatic) & heater elements working if heated.
