Broken interior tailgate latch V70-XC70

I had to rebuild my tailgate latch recently, and http://myswedishparts.com/ is by far the best source for random trim pieces like those. Get into the parts catalogs for your year V70, and then you have a choice between collision and mechanical catalogs. You want collision, and then browse through the various sections until you find tailgate hardware. The nice thing about the site is you can look at a blowup illustration that labels all the little trim pieces involved in the tailgate and pick what you need. The parts I got were genuine Volvo, and were very reasonable including shipping.

A word of advice, by some clips for the tailgate carpet panel, because the little ones on the top break when you pop the panel off. In fact, if you haven't already done it, IPDUSA.com sells a nifty kit that reinforces the clips and anchors to help reduce rattles in the tailgate. Worked great on my V70 T5. Now's the time to install it if you're popping the panel for the latch.

Have fun!
