My wife has a 1996 850 wagon and the rear tailgate door won't stay open, mainly when it is cold. I have seen a couple of previous posts about this in the forums, but would like to get more information on how to replace the struts or springs or whatever it is that is (not) holding up the door.
What parts will I need to buy? How to access and remove the old ones? Will I need any special tools? I am hoping to do this myself, as I can imagine it will be a few hundred bucks at the Volvo dealership.
