Default Door mirror compatibility

Hi -
I am new to the Forum. I hope you can help.

I have a V70 2004, diesel, 2401cc (over 307000 miles!).

The passenger side door mirror is badly damaged (it collided with a a tree whilst I was avoiding a mad driver on the wrong side of the road).

I was told the part number is 30634098. I am finding it difficult to get this part secondhand (the Volvo dealer quoted £600).

Do you know if there are compatible parts that would fit my car? For example, I saw on ebay part number 30634062. Would this work?

Many thanks,
Sean Lawrence.

I don't have a part number cross reference but a side view mirror is a classic breakers/salvage yard item.

My passenger's side mirror glass popped out the other day. The glue failed.
A local glass shop got me the convex mirror and installed it for what the glass alone would've cost online ($65).

Local body shops and auto glass shops have their sources.

Default Mirror compatibility

Thanks GeorgeandKira.
My difficulty is that I have to replace the whole unit. Most secondhand mirrors have a model number that is different to the one for my car, but look like they are the correct shape.
It's diffiicult for me to know if they would fit unless I purchase and try the fit. Obviously I don't want the hassle of buying and having to return (at my cost!) each time.
Any ideas about how to cross reference compatibility with other mirrors? This way I would be able to choose which one to purchase and know it would be ok.
I reckon I can fiddle the electrics to work even if there are different pins on the connectors.

what colour is it? does it have a puddle light (is that an option for this year?) does it auto-fold, does it have heated mirrors...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393395288...kAAOSwo89gyN9f

this one any good?

you might need to find out what paint code your car is and get busy with a rattle tin.

worth keeping the external temperature sensor from the old one as a spare

bear in mind import costs may apply when shipping in from outside the UK

this one certainly appears very similar doesnt it..
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254827902...IAAOSwjetgr-2I

have noticed my first link is LHD and this latest one is RHD, is that the difference between part numbers? who told you the part number .. presumably you have a RHD car

not sure if that really makes any difference, of course the mirror would need to be at a different angle but they adjust dont they.. so.. no idea

there's a note on this last one saying email him and ask if you have queries

Thanks for your replies Stuart and for the ebay links.
My mirror is manual folding with no puddle light. It's electrically heated. It's a LH drive car.
I took my mirror out but the part number was unreadable. The Volvo dealer told me the part number.
I guess I will have to buy one from ebay and try it out. If it doesn't fit maybe I can grind the fitting down a bit.
The electrics is another issue, Mine has a a 7-pin plug. Others have 8-pin, 11-pin or more.
Thanks again.

no worries, it sounds 2nd link is best for you then - RHD, left side, and 7 pin

(edited after your update)

the hardest / most time consuming bit will be doing a decent job of the spray paint most likely. unless you dont care about that I suppose

could just spray it black and do the other side the same so it looks like it's supposed to be like that
