Pink dots - was this door latch adjusted S60

Before reading your post I did ask the sales guy about the pink dots. He said that the detail person places those dots on the doors of cars after he is finished detailing.

I also looked at the bolts and there are a few bolts that saw a wrench. Looking at the head flats you can see someone applied torque to the bolt. Other bolts still look shiny and painted.

I took the car to a collision center and had a guy come out to look. I wanted to show him the bolts in question.

He doesn't think the door was removed and that possibly those bolts that are in question are the last bolts to be installed at the factory. Kind of a last torque down of the door? He said he can't be 100% certain and could only know if he saw other Volvo's that had the same bolts showing a wrench had been applied.

I did hypothesize the same thing about the factory. Without messing up the other shiny, painted bolts there would not be a way to remove the door.

I included a pic of the bolt. Sorry my phone camera isn't that great and the shiny bolts didn't show but the front one that looks like it had a wrench on it does show. Weird thing is that both front doors have the same bolt issues.
