Bought a Taiwan made replacement wing mirror for my Citroen on Ebay.

Cost less than half of official Citroen dealer spare, arrived quickly and
seems to be working fine including heating and outside temperature sensor.

It says 'replacement for oem' on the packaging so it presumably isn't to OEM
spec as such.

It doesn't pretend to be a Citroen part so it can't be called a fake but if
it does not even say it is to oem spec may I have bought a crappy part that
could fail early?

It was nice and cheap, fits and works. I'd stop there. If it does fail
early, you know to get a different one next time.

saying :

It's a mirror.

How is it going to "fail", short of being twatted against something solid?

The heating element would be the first to fail in my experience - even OEM
