Am having my 86 745 repainted...but the roof rack mountings are shot. These are the ones that are mounted into holes in the metal roof.
Where can one get new ones?
Are Junkyard ones good enough?
Gracias,
el Raidman

    While we're on the topic...

    If I'm not mistaken, the FAQs mention that fixing a loose roof rack (like mine) can be a big mistake because it necessitates removing the roof liner. Has anyone fixed a loose rack with any sort of expandable anchors, or other means that would avaoid removal of the liner?

    Thanks,
    mrad

      FYI, the factory roof rack is mounted with an expandable anchor, hence why it came loose in the first place.

    'well nuts' they're called; get 'em at your local Ace or True Value.

      OOOPS...I just ordered them from Borton Volvo in Minnesota. $2 a piece. I needed 8, so I'll just chalk it up to supporting a part of the Volvo family.
      BTW, the bolts are discontinued, but not the well nuts.

    I suspect, from personal experience, that used ones would be likewise shot. So buy them from the dealer.
