Some kind fellow managed to smack my drivers side mirror so hard that the glass completely shattered. I managed to salvage the insides, reassembled it, and all motors work fine. I now need to sort the glass out. I assume it's heated, as there are 2 wires left dangling.

All the cheap glass replacements seems to stick over the existing broken glass, like this (http://www.cardoormirrors.com/Volvo/S40/2004-to-2010-Car-Door-Mirror.html). This will be no good, with nothing to stick it to! Also it won't be heated.

This (http://www.volvopartshop.com/door-mirror-glass-s40v50-04-3888-p.asp), at about £50-60 seems to be the glass I need. It's not cheap though, and I can't find any mention of it being heated.

This (http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=6051) claims to be a direct replacement, and is a lot cheaper. Would this be heated too?

I may have to swallow the expense and drive down to the dealer, but if I could save a few quid I'd be more than happy!

Pretty sure when I bought a mirror for our 09 plate from FRF Volvo it was about £60 so the link above would be about right for OEM glass.

Your third link appears to be heated. I'd check with the supplier though. If it is, then that is a great price.

Bear in mind that the mirror shape changed from 2006/7 onwards.

My Honda Accord mirror was smashed so I ordered from the following company on E-bay. Approx £12 for a heated mirror.

RIGHT SIDE DOOR WING FLAT HEATED MIRROR GLASS DRIVER FOR VOLVO S40 2004-2006 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RIGHT-SIDE-DOOR-WING-FLAT-HEATED-MIRROR-GLASS-DRIVER-FOR-VOLVO-S40-2004-2006-/370566583188?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Car+Make%3AVolvo|Model%3AS40&hash=item56477d5394)

The mirror it's self has a sticky pad on the back, and it comes with a plastic "mount" that you trim with a pair of scissors then stick to the pad. Feels very secure. Perfect replacement and I'd use it again. Can barely tell the difference to the OEM one and heats up just as well.

Note, the above one is a "FLAT" standard mirror variant... these people also do Wide Angle & Convex versions if you need that sort of thing.
