Trying to fix the horrible radio reception on my '01 S80. Bought the Volvo-recommended "copper ground strip" at a dealership that goes on the antenna booster to hopefully (?) help the reception. There was a TSB issued for this problem and it has been discussed elsewhere on Brickboard. The parts guy at the Volvo dealership printed the installation instructions for the copper ground strip but they did not show how to remove the interior trim piece to get to the antenna booster.

The antenna booster is located behind the interior trim piece that goes around the small rear window on the driver's side (by the rear headrest). Problem is I can't get the darn thing off!

It appears to be held in by a series of metal (plastic?) clips...not sure if it is also held in place with screws? I was able to pull it part way off but could not get it all the way off. I didn't want to apply too much pressure for fear of breaking the clips and/or damaging the trim piece.

Has anyone done this before? Any pictures? Or a parts diagram? If I could see the back of the trim piece (showing where all the clips are) it would help a lot.

YOUR HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED...THANK YOU!!!
