C70 Rear view mirror
 

Hi guys,

My rear view mirror on my C70 is....how best describe it.....basically i cant see through it and it needs to be replaced.

Can i use some generic OEM product or does it have to be a genuine Volvo part as they are really expensive and I cant justify that much money for the rear view mirror anyway. There are plenty advertised on ebay but for S70s S80s etc but not C70.

Any help would be great.

Ta :)

If it is the auto dim you will loose that though.

what year?

are you willing to use a broadway mirror? they just mount right over the existing mirror and give you a better view.

im happy to lose auto dim, 1998 and Broadway style will be considered ofcourse.

any ideas guys ?

cant seem to find any that will fit anywhere.

will the mirrors from the 850's or V70s fit ?

They should fit fine.

If you definitely need a new mirror I would try to install the newer style mirror with the compass.
BTW: I'm dying to see how the Monza wheels will look on your car ICE. Really like that particular mesh style rim.

can you point me in the right direction for this mirror please ?

oh and here are my wheels....better pics to come, this was done with my phone.....looks alot better in real life too.

Rims look good ICE. The rear view mirrors I was describing are on Ebay. They are for a newer C30 and C70. Pretty pricey, but I think they were around 180ish. One thing that I am not sure on in the description is they are region encoded. Probably needs to be in a newer Volvo if we had to change this setting.

cheers MKC ! they are a bit pimp my ride so might get them sprayed in silver

im not sure what you mean about the mirrors ? are you saying the C30 mirrors would fit my car as they are only a couple years old and Im driving a 98. i dont care about the auto dim feature either :) can you find one on ebay and give me an example ? please of course :)

Cheers,

Pete

This is for a 2007 model, the 08-09 one is almost 300$. Myswedishparts is the seller. This would undoubtedly not be plug and play, but I highly doubt the installation would be that involved. Hardest part may not be the wiring at all, but mounting it if the bolt holes are different.

Hi MKC70, im driving a 1998 C70 not 08 C30, perhaps you got mixed up.

I need to know if I can use the rear view mirror from a S70 or V40 of the same shape and years ????? I dont need the autodim feature.

No mix up, just saying it might be cool to have the compass in the rear view is all. Whether the mirror is auto dim or not you can still install it in the coupe.

ahh got yah ! yeh I wish...... ive just ordered a V70 raer view which looks like it fits ;) im not prepared to pay so much for a rear view.
