When I got my S60 last January I noticed that the rubber cover under the
trunk lid latch had a hole in it. When I took the car to a dealer in Tulsa
for the 60,000 mile $ervice I asked about the rubber cover. They offered to
sell me a new trunk latch for about $250 which included a new rubber cover.
This item is basically flat rubber, about 1/16" thick and about 1½ x 2½".
Since the latch worked fine and the only problem was the cover, I declined
their offer, thinking that such a rubber part should be available for a couple
dollars. Anybody got any ideas on this? I don't think I am likely to find one
in a salvage/parts recycler around here. I could probably make one that would
last as long as the one that came on the car.
Also on the driver's seat there is a "MEM" button. On the way to Colorado
Springs (to pick up an 850 for daughter Susan) last weekend I noted that the
spring was there but the button was not evident. Found it later under the
seat and finally on the third attempt I got it to stay in place. Still not
sure whether it works or not but at least it is reinstalled.
I looked for both these items on the VADIS parts list and could only find the
major assemblies in both cases. Anybody know where I could get a REAL IPB
(Illustrated Parts Breakdown)? One that shows ALL the parts?
