Hi -

The retractable factory model cargo cover on my 2000 v70 has broken. The other day, when I went to pull it out to cover the cargo area, there was a loud "snap" sound, followed by a rapid unravelling sound, and then after that the cover doesn't really self-retract, it seems to have no real power at all, almost as though some spring or something has broken.

The plastic end cap on the right side of the cover mechanism has come off, and it looks like there is a plastic piece inside the cap that has broken, a piece which seems to have previously engaged the retractable cover mechanism.

Is this a common problem? It isn't covered under warranty because it is two years old. Is is practical, or even possible, to repair these? A new cover costs more than $200, so I don't want to just go out and buy a new one if I could reasonably repair it myself.

Thanks,
Tim
