    Nope that looks to be a 2 piece mirror, mine for some reason is all one piece with no holes back there. Thats why I had to come here and ask how to get it off. LOL!

    mirror looks the same except there are NO HOLES!! My freightliner had that also where the grommet type thing you had to remove to access the screws. But mine is one piece, no holes, no plugs covering the screws at all..just one flat black piece..........

    You have to tilt the mirror and gently lift up . It's dove tailed into a bracket inside. Then you'll be able to access everything in there. ( Just have to remove the 2 wires for the heated mirrors on back )

    Yes so that the bottom is pushed in. Wiggle it as you lift up. You'll see that there is a plastic pin that sits inside a V shaped bracket. Problem is there is nothing in the manual that explains this, mine was trial and error.

    first remove mirror glass. till the mirror so top is fully out. now pry mirror upward till it release now remove and unplug. now pry stop mirror upward till it release unplug remove. now on the inside of the mirror cover you will see the release clips to remove the outside cover release these clips very carefully donot break and remove the cover. On the top door hinge you will see the coax and wires for mirrors and windows. Take this door hinge apart to run coax thought the hinge. then under dash. the coax cant have an end on it and must be soldier on after you run it. Also volvo uses a splitter for the am/fm radio and cb. Keep the drive side door for cb radio. but leave the passenger side door for the am/fm radio. Your cb will work so much better with much more reach.
