I can't help you but when I, and my wife, saw your handle we both had a good laugh. Our youngest son earned the nickname "rat-boy" from me in his early teens and I still refer to him as that 20 years later! :-)

You may be able to make a decent repair if the broken sections are big. You will need to get s special "glue" that dries clears and doesn't completely melt the plastic. You can find it at a place that sells/cuts plastic and acrylics. The option is to find one for a 740 and trim the sides to fit a 240. It has been done before.
There was a 240 decor panel on ebay and the price was a bit much for me. I feel your pain. I have these on my cars and they really make the cars look great. I would attempt a fix.

These are becoming hard to find, at least in good shape. There’s a new and unused one advertised at Sweden’s equivalent to Craigslist, price 300 SEK:

(«Reflexramp passande mellan bakljusen (stora) till Volvo 240, ny & oanvänd, 300»)
It was advertised Nov. 15th though, so it might be since long gone.

As an aside, personally I find the black tape better looking and got mine from this guy (225 SEK):

He has all the the 240 stripe and decal kits reproduced on high quality materials and can be reached at decor dot stripes at glocalnet dot net , hopefully he is still in business.
I bought from him myself with good results a few years ago (the white car in the photos is mine).

Happy Christmas!

You are in Australia?

Sorry you boomped your current 240 rear decor panel.

Some may say Volvo PN 1394853. Doubtful.

Tasca Parts in Cranston Rhode Island, US shows, on their parts web page, the, what is called a "Trim Strip" is discontinued.

You can perform a search using different search engine by the informal part name of "240 rear decor panel" or using Volvo and the part number 1394852.

Else, examples may be found here on this board by those that have it, turbobricks, Volvo enthusiast site like this yet in Australia, the UK, and Europa.

Else, what may be your best bet are some facebook groups that support Volvo 240. These include:

There was a post on a Volvo 240 facegroup book where someone had five of these for sale in a single image. That person as other stuff for sale. I checked these two group, yet cannot find the post for you.

There may be other 240 Groups.

Check eBay?

Else, I dunno. Other forum members will know and reply.

Hope that helps you.

Hope your Summer is not too hot and dry. If you are in Australia.

God Jul Boyeeeeee (Good Yule.)
