aftermarket mirror glass

my original side mirror (UK made from 2009) separated from the plastic backing and suicided on the road

so I replaced it with the best quick cheap option which was a new opened box no name from amazon ($20). not the fake stick-on type, it's the heated glass with backing. fits fine and looks clear and all but optically it's a bit wavy and makes me a little woozy every time I check it.

are the aftermarket options from IPD or other sources any better or should I stick with OEM ? I don't think I can bring myself to pay $125 for new but maybe I can pull just the glass from a junkyard. don't think many yards will want to sell the glass without the rest of the mirror unit.

My sons car was vandalized a while back and it took out the side mirror glass.

A pic of the replacement mirror is at the end of that thread. Looks perfect to me. Here is the amazon link if you want to give amazon another shot: Amazon.com: X AUTOHAUX Mirror Glass Heated with Backing Plate Driver Side LH Left Side Rear View Mirror Glass for Volvo C30 2007-2013 for Volvo V50 2007-2010 : Automotive

Not sure which side you lost... I'm sure they sell the other side too. Found it: Amazon.com: X AUTOHAUX Car Rearview Right Passenger Side Heated Mirror Glass Replacement W/Backing Plate for Volvo C30 2007-2013 S40 2007-2012 C70 2008-2013 S60 2007-2009 : Automotive
