2006 V50 wing mirror removal/replacement
Hi
New to Volvos and recently bought a 2006 V50 2.0D. After a couple of days, I've noticed the driver's side wing mirror is seriously loose. It looks OK but is actually very wobbly - eg it can't be folded in as the frame doesn't have the structural strength to rotate on the hinges. I've peeled back the plastic trim on the inside just a peek and the bolt appears to be in-tact, so I think it's the plastic bits in the mirror body that are snapped (looks like someone's tried a DIY repair job with silicone sealant) My questions are:
Any help appreciated thanks |

I only know correct answer for 2nd one - YES, those are just pop-in and easily replaceable. Also word of warning - make sure you compare the mirror types - 2005-2008 cars had different mirrors than FL model 2008.

Many thanks for the reply. The fact that the coloured panels are interchangeable will be a cost-saver I'm sure. I'll watch out for the model year.

To answer 1, yes, the door card requires removal to access the bolts.

Many thanks for all the replies. Have now successfully swapped out the mirror. Removing the door panel was a pain as the clips threatened to snap at every opportunity but seems to have gone OK.
Turns out there are two competing door mirrors for a 2006 model; both fit the car fine but have different electrics. Best way to tell on inspection was in reference to the size of the indicators. |
