Volvo 940 GLE Sedan

Hello.
Apperantly my model is unique in Israel most of them are 96 onwards.
Myne differ from later models by having plastic cover around the trunk's metal walls.
I know for sure that some clips\screws are missing and i find it hard to achive them.
Does anyone here can detail about those elements which holds this plastic wall together?Among them and to the metal.
Thank you.
Yossi Shani-Israel.

Dear yossishani,

Hope you're well. In Volvo VADIS - a superseded Volvo dealer parts/service diagram - in the trunk there are two side panels. The driver's side (US definition) is part #9405902 and the passenger side (US definition) is part #9405915. The front panel is part #9405919.

The side panels seem to be secured at the top by part #9405904, a "clip", of which two are required. Here's a picture: http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/body/interior-equipment/panels/clip-interior-panel-trunk/1051373/ . The side panels seem to be secured at the bottom by part #3545113, of which four are required. I cannot find a picture of this part.

Do the number panels - three (two sides and a front) - and the number of clips (six in total), match what you see?

I'd guess a Volvo dealer no longer has these clips. But you might find them from a salvage yard in the U.S. or Europe. As they are plastic - and weigh only a few grammes each - the postage should not be much.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook

Hello falks,take a look at that.

I am well thank U hope U too and thank U for your respond.
Maybee it is just me but i am having difficulties orienting in this forum.
Can U see the hole in the picture ? Should be something there ?

Dear yossishani,

Hope you're well. Yes: a fastener should go in that opening.

As I explained, Volvo no longer has these parts. They can only be had from cars in salvage yards.

Consult Prof. Google. Use terms like Volvo, 940, sedan, and "salvage yard". You might find a salvage yard that just received a 940 sedan.

Ask if they can remove these fasteners - I provided part numbers - and mail them to you. Postage to Israel should only be a few dollars, as these small parts do not weigh much.

Your second photo is not clear, so is of no use.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook

Yes,U are very helpfull,first i will try to achive 3545113 and then move on.
One conclution for me is trying to get all Schemes with parts numbers,then my life in that matter would be easier.
You said U R using Volvo VADIS and i will try to fetch it.
Thanks again mister for your kindness.

And one of this bolt too is missing.
Whare can i accomplish these parts?
Thank u
Yossi

I don't have a sedan at the moment to inspect, but I believe this second pic shows one of two such notches where the plastic tool kit box goes and the thumb screw goes into the nut shown. Here's a link to a parts schematic so you can see what it look likes plus all the tools that went with it, including the needed plastic thumb screw key and lock washer, along with part numbers
www.volvopartswebstore.com Volvo 940 4DRS S.R 1993 Body and interior Tools and jack

There are lots of other such parts schematics with part numbers for you at the Volvo Parts Webstore, including the trunk area.

Even though you may find such plastic trim and fasteners listed in catalogues for sale at authorized suppliers such as the Volvo Parts Webstore, you may have difficulty finding them in stock, even more so in the matching color. Many parts listed are long since discountinued from the factory and were never kept in local or regional stock in the first place. Even if you do find them, authorized suppliers are often restricted from selling internationally. Many parts suppliers, whether new genuine Volvo, aftermarket or used parts, choose not to ship internationally because of all the export paperwork and the high shipping and parts return costs they would have to charge and possibly end up having to absorb if things go wrong.

You're best bet is like Spook says and try to source a used 940 or even a 740 or 960 sitting somewhere with a matching interior color. Ideally you'll be able to find something in your country or region. Other good international sources for old Volvos are the EU/UK and Australia, but they'll mostly be right hand drive whereas I believe in Israel you're left hand drive like North America (USA and Canada). Yards in the USA are perhaps easier to find online, but if you post here, such as a Wanted to Buy item in the ClassAds forum, or in other online groups, even non-Volvo Facebook groups, then someone may be able to link you to a commercial yard or private source that actually has a similar vehicle available for stripping.

When shopping internationally for uncommon parts you're best to shop by general part description (preferably with pic), other names the part may be known by, especially the Volvo part name used in catalogues, exact part location (with pic if available), Volvo part number (if you have it), OEM name/logo or part numbers stamped on the product, even the rough dimensions. When providing your year, model, trim level and color, be sure to emphazie your international market name as there are production variations world wide, most especially begin and end years as well as LH/RH drive. Best to also include your VIN and in some cases the coding from all the various product plates. When shopping used, best to provide a suggested list of potential donor models, trim levels and applicable years.

Dave -still with 940's, prev 740/240/140/120 You'd think I'd have learned by now

Thank you for your detailed respond.
The problem is that i was hanging around blindly since i have no car to compare to ( I mentioned that most models here are past 95),i knew parts are missing but how they look like?
I am buying stuff from ebay Germany and U.K for the American market is blocking me from buying since pepole are charging unproportional fees for shipping and i am talking avout small things.
But i will prevail thanks for the internet and pepole like U and Mr. Spook.

For those unproportional shipping costs on EBay , try messaging the seller and asking for a realistic shipping cost. That sometimes works.

I just did.
Lets see how it rolls on.
Thank U.
