Minorl,

Your advice and the advice I have received from other members of this Volvo community are very helpful to me. I will follow your advice. I don’t have the skills to take the dashboard apart on my 850, but I do plan on holding onto this car. I really like it. It is a bright red (Color Code 601) and has a 5 speed manual. It also has the GLT trim level, so I have moon roof, leather interior and the cold weather package. I also upgraded the original radio to an SC815 model so it can still play cassettes and DVDs.

When the a/c evaporator fails (again), that is when I will have the bolts to the dashboard repaired. My garage will have the dashboard apart, and that is when I will address this problem. I will show them your post. Of course the dash squeaks terribly. But with a 22 year old 850 with over 400,000 miles which I have owned since new, I have learned to manage my expectations.

Hugh
