    Speaking from experience I would say try and get a genuine one, especially if it's heated. The glue on the pattern ones just doesn't hack it.

    Try GSF ? They have >40% off sales most weekends. The bootlid strut I bought from them recently for my S60 looked stronger than the original and fitted perfectly.

    Genuine volvo glass has a reputation for the heater element failing randomly.
    This is one area where pattern parts are a good idea. Under 15 quid from PFV.

    Looking at the PFV site, are these coming with the plastic baking plate or just the mirror glass only?

    If you mean the plastic bit that attaches the mirror to the swivel assembly - yes. The last one I bought was complete.

    Thanks! My passenger side mirror is a bit cloudy, so I might order a set from PFV.
