DIY : removing the light assembly from side mirrors
So here it is guys: I understand that you have to remove the glass but actually you dont have to at all.
well mine is a 2006 model year but m sure that it also applies to older models too. But not sure about the new models.
just one warning : BE CAREFUL WHEN TRYING TO PUSH ON THE CLIP (step 4). Once its broken it is broken.

Also note that...while pushing on the clip be very careful not to break them because once the clip is broken THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WILL WILL NOT BE ATTACHED AND THEREFORE WILL NOT CLOSE..and so the unit will left hanging and you will have to order a new one. Unless you try to glue it ..but too much work..so BE GENTLE AND CAREFUL WITH PUSHING ON THE CLIPS.

I just replaced one of mine because to I broke it (funny it was about a week before this thread opened).
You can try to contact Erie Vovo, they are a Volvo dismantler not far from where I live (Rome, NY) and if they have a car that was totaled and the mirror housing was damaged, they might be able to get you one.
