Unless the roof rack is actually coming off I suggest you bag this fix. It is a TOTAL nightmare and requires you to:

1) Pull the roof panels around the headliner
2) pull the car's headliner out or at least down

I can't remember, but I think you may also have to remove the sunroof tray as well... maybe not.

The roof rack is a hastle because it was poorly designed. It didn't come out until after the 700 was originally releasedn due to teh fact that Volvo hadn't designed a rack for it originally and had to come up with a way to work it around the sunroof, which slides back in teh middle of the ceiling.

Basically the rack was an afterthought, and teh bolting scheme isn't very good. Oicne you loosen the bolts for any reason you are more or less screwed unlesss you pull teh car apart to put it back together.

Good luck,
