S70 Door Panel Question..Not Bubble Issue!! S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Lance on  Wed Aug 13 14:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi everyone...So I'm driving to work today and noticed the insert panel (the inlay panels with the door latch and window switches) has come unglued from the rest of the door panel. I thought about doing this myself by taking off the panel and gluing it all back...But, it is under 4yr/50k factory warranty..so any suggestions?...Is it worth a try..i know mechanics and glues do not mix...lol...I can see the future of a sloppy job...So if I decide to do it myself per your advice...what adhesive should i use that is safe for vinyl???...I remember that 3M has an adhesive in a red tube that I put my Silver aluminum dash trim in with?...sound familiar to anyone??..Can i get it at Home Depot?..Anyhow...any advice is much appreciated...I will go to Volvospeed.com for door removal info...Also is it recommended that I get extra door pop-out plastic tabs that hold the door in?..I hear they tend to break upon removal..Thanks all...Lance

    Lance,

    If it's under warranty, let Volvo buy you a new door panel.

    The insert can be fixed. You'll need an adhesive that does not dissolve the foam padding. I used a spray product I got from an upholstery shop. The work is tricky and requires PATIENCE.

    Volvo also has a repair kit (@$50.US) that will do two doors. Their fix is mediocre IMHO. It does not have the foam backing of the original and cheapens the interior. You'll also want a skilled tech to install it correctly.

    If you're stuck buying your own complete panel, contact Phillip @ Swedish Engineering--best price, best service.

    Good luck,
    Bryan
