Hi J,

Here is the definitive link for removing and repairing the broken support tabs.

http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-s70-33/dash-board-removal-mounting-tab-repair-5802/

It's a major project and some folks wait until replacing the evaporator since it requires removal of the dash. I've done mine and it was a major PITA. It had been bouncing around for years and many fastener receivers and tabs were broken and needed to be repaired.

Check the BB archives for tips on preventing the problem from coming back. Also, search the web for repairs that don't require removal of the dash. YMMV on those techniques.

This is like the ABS module problem--not a question of "if" but "when" for the 850/870 series.

What were the engineers thinking when they came up with this design?

Good luck,
Bryan
