.I've always cranked down the bolts on the OEM mirrors. Mine don't budge unless they encounter a solid object. I can still tuck them in on the rare occasion that I need additional clearance, but it takes a lot of pulling to do so. Torque those suckers down (replace the bolt, sping, washer if needed). Get them good and tight and they'll stay in adjustment.
Now if it the mirrors themselves turning in and not the frames, then you might look at replacement. The OEM style mirrors are dirt cheap and quite common.

Don't know about you, but for too many years doing my walkaround I learned to stand at the same place at the back of the truck - then look at the mirror. I learned with time that if the mirror got bumped I could see that, walk forward and make an adjustment. A couple of "Sharpie Marks" on the top and bottom of the mirror brackets would instantly get it back in place.
You gotta remember too that most of my early learning came from smart a$$ kids on the school bus lot. They had lots of enjoyment touching stuff they shouldn't. I was able to deflate their balloons pretty quick when it seemed so easy to fix the passenger mirror...
