This is an age old problem for Volvo. Back in 1988 I bought a new 760 Turbo, black with tan interior. The two driver side door panels started doing the same bubble and peel trick at just after 12 months. I didn't get it to the dealer until the car was 14 months old and they told me "tough luck" since the 12 month all inclusive warranty was up and it would cost almost $500 per door to fix. I appealed to the regional service rep and was turned down flat. I was told it was a common problem then too, but they offered nothing on my behalf.

It wasn't until I visited another dealer in another region and mentioned the problem that anyone took notice. The other dealer came to the rescue and bought in their rep and they agreed to replace the panels for free as a good will gesture knowing I had not even bought the car there. I was happy to give this other dealer all my business from then on even though they were twice as far as the one who sold me the car.

If your car is not too far out of the 12 month warranty, you might try a different dealer in another county.
