Patrick,

Yes, you can. I found that out after buying a new one.

Go to an upholstery shop and get a spray adhesive that will NOT dissolve the 1/4" foam. You'll notice that the "leatherette" peels away from the foam.

Apply a thin and even coating and press the vinyl into place working from the point where it remained attached to the end of the panel. The key to an invisible repair is to apply a minimal amount of adhesive so that the surface remains even.

Hey, now I can change my timing belt and repair unholstery. Thanks Volvo!

Bryan
