That's interesting as I've never seen 1 of those mirrors made of plastic in nearly 40 years of working on old Volvos.

AFAIK, the base and arm have always been made of chromed pot metal and the back of the mirror head is chromed sheetmetal with the mirror glass crimped inside and that is what we sell and usually have in stock.

Well over 10 years ago, there was a change in the way the mirror head is made by the addition of a plastic gasket that surrounds the mirror glass at it's perimeter, so you can easily identify the later production mirror heads.
