Sorry to but in on this thread, but I have a question. Charles, did the body shop use Volvo original or other brand strips? And was that $200 each side or each car? Also, are they made of the same material as the OEM ones? Also, any special tools used to do the job? Were they fastened with clips or glue or press fit? I want to replace mine, but don't trust many people with my baby. Last shop that had my car over night I caught their service writer taking his girl out to dinner in it. He said that he wanted to be sure that the brake job it was in for really need to be done. Yeah, right! Needless to say, the owner was on the phone the next morning offering me an apology and discount.
