You're not alone. Honestly, at this rate, I don't expect deliveries happening in 2021.

Not just Boodmo, even Honda guys too. Asked a Honda dealer and he told it is not available in entire north India, except for 2 small towns. It's not available in any dealership in Delhi.

I ordered mine on 22nd October immediately as Gannu_1 confirmed about the fitment. It is a great buy man. Sadly, since keeleri_Achu's order has not been fulfilled, I seriously doubt about mine too getting delivered in 2021.

But the good news is that it is a direct fit in the VW Vento/Polo

Thanks Gannu_1!

Even I have ordered one from boodmo for my 2011 VW Vento but sadly it's on backorder for boodmo, I placed an order on gomechanic as well but somehow according to their policy (Not available with the seller) they cancelled the order from their end without any prior notice.

Keeleri_Achu · 23rd November 2021, 13:07

So after two months of holding on to someone's money, Boodmo simply decided to cancel the order without any intimation.

I won't be surprised if they restock it with an inflated price tag.

P.S. No. I didn't accidentally cancel the order.

Yeah, happened to me also, but for a service manual. Not surprised at all. Atleast, the money was refunded.

Kartik_rs6 · 24th November 2021, 21:28

Is there any other way around apart from boodmo from where this IRVM can be sourced?
Also how about getting one from an accidental car?

Gannu_1 · 24th November 2021, 23:21

Can we place an order with a Honda dealership/service centre quoting the part number?

They ask for VIN details and order against that.

I enquired about the same at a local dealership here in Pune,MH the service advisor denied saying that they do not sale any part over the counter

In case, if the below helps,

My car is a Civic but am not sure whether that evil ASC in my area would entertain my query since this specific IRVM belongs to the 2017 CITY.

I checked with local Honda service center for the mirror. They do not have it in stock in any of their service center outlets and have to place a back order. So, I presume, the mirror is indeed in shortage. I have also placed order for it on Boodmo a month ago. Guess, it will be a long wait

Hi Gannu_1, any luck if we can fit it on Tiago, i have also ordered this item through boodmo. In fact i cancelled my 1st order and a month later re-ordered the item...this time i plan to hold on to the order as long as it takes...

These orders will surely prompt some people to rethink about the part item and what's going around it

The mount stuck in the windshield is different. You’ll need to salvage a mount from a damaged windshield from the service center or a shop like Windshield Experts.

The slot is inwards unlike VW/Skoda/Maruti/Honda where the slot is outwards.

This is from a Tiago.

Correct, let me first get the mount and then I have two ways either to install next to existing mount or to remove the oem mount using small blow torch, but I don't know if anyone has done it before
