I’ve got a handful of mirrors from parts cars, black 019 , blue 417 and silver 426 I think.

I can send you one if needed

Hello,

Thank you Steve but i am still waiting for those fuses you promised to send :-)
Thanks for the offer.

I forgot to mention something about the plastic "Pop out" so i'll mention it here.
The plastic back part does not 'pop out'. What happens is part of the inside guts pops out , then you have to stick a screwdriver between the plastic back and the plastic guts to be able to 'pop' the plastic back away from the plastic guts.
So there is lightly more to it than just popping it out unless other mirrors are different or something.
Good luck everyone.
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Hello again, little update...

Ok the mirror is back on the car and it looks good. It went on easily but it did take a little aligning to get it to snap in place.
One slight problem though the left/right servo does not seem to move the mirror at all so it can not be adjusted right with the normal control switch. I wonder if there is more to the reinstalling than shown in the video.

I can hear the servo wizzing so it must be getting the right signal, so i think it would be a mechanical linkage problem.
Any ideas?
