Are you talking about when they're flipped up to the "tow" position? I noticed some fluttering on them above 80 mph, which was fairly disappointing. But I don't really see a case where I'll be using them above 80 mph in the towing position.

So are they shaking when you drive? I have the folding non-tow mirrors and they are completely solid when driving. Might need to try shaking them by hand and see if they're moving at the pivot or where they're mounted to the body

I think he means when you fold them they hit the glass and looks like they move up a bit.

Yes, they're shaking while driving, and, folding mechanism closing/open with holding

The mirrors don't hit the glass, it only looks like they do when they hit their mechanical stops.

The OP could have given a better explanation, rather than waiting for someone to guess what he meant.

I suspect that English isn't his first language.

Yes, it appears he's Russian. It has to be tough trying to explain your problem in a foreign language, but the more detail the better. Maybe Google Translate would help?? I've deciphered foreign posts with it, but I've never used it to construct a post in a foreign language.

I doubt the folding mechanism is serviceable. If your truck is still under warranty I would take it to a dealer, if not you may want to look at the replacements that are available through Amazon The mirror head is easy to remove if you take off the inner door panel.
