Door mirror
I have been trying to find a near-side door mirror glass for my 2006 V50 2.0D SE, can anyone give me a steer as to what model year range will fit my car.
2004-2006 fit ones seem as rare as rocking horse droppings. I've seen one advertised as for 07 - 09 here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S40-...item3f0964e84c looks like a good price, will it fit my 2006 ? Haydn |

My experience of an eBay jobbie was that it did fit after a fashion. The terminals for the heating element were in slightly the wrong place so I had to cut the frame. Also it didn't stick to the frame as well as the original. The glass was the right size though. I give it 7/10 compares with an original Volvo one

The pic of mine showed it attached to the carrier too. If you do order one I would be interested to know how it goes as I may order another.

Ebay mirror glass arrived today - fitted in about 5 minutes and was a direct replacement for my broken one.
In fact it appeared identical, even down to the part number stamped on the back, to the one that I took off so not sure if the mirror has been replaced previously with a pattern part or if I've bought a genuine mirror for a tenner. Either way I'm very happy with it. I've tried to link to pictures of the part but not sure if it will work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29612209@N04/8450398981/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/29612209@N04/8450398971/ Last edited by Haydnw1; Feb 6th, 2013 at 19:46.

He had bought a replacement mirror and was less than happy with it, the one I bought on ebay seems like genuine OEM quality. The ebay seller http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S40-...item3f0964e84c has just reduced the price by £2 so now £7.99. I tried to send a PM to Falmouthboy to update him but as I have less than 30 posts not allowed to PM - maybe someone reading this will be kind enough to drop him a PM. Haydn |
