    I am trying to find a used left hand mirror, in good condition to suit my
    Volvo 850SE wagon.
    Situated in Adelaide, South Australia so heated model not required.

    Most glass shops 'round here (east coast of Canada) will cut a piece of
    mirror to fit perfectly, even with the bevelled edges, for a fraction of the
    co$t of a replacement part.

    I did this this when I broke mine. The cost was about $25 from a local
    mirror place in Western Sydney (Australia). The Volvo replacement cost was
    somewhere around $150-ish. Just so long as you have the plastic backing
    plate, which you remove by grabbing by the inside edge and pulling outwards.
    Take that along as a template.

    That is unless the entire mirror fitting has been totalled :-((

    Regards

    Try Clarkson's Glass on Port Road Woodville I get coach mirrors cut there
    all the time. this is providing that the body is OK and be careful removing
    the old glass and stick on with something like silicone I use a polyurethane
    called sikaflex its better.

    Good luck Joe

    The mirror has been totalled. The glass is the only piece not broken. John
