That little trim strip is one FRAGILE piece-- I replaced a lot of those at the dealership I worked at. As far as I know, you'll only get it from Volvo or a parts car. Try the junkyard- you may get it for $2 instead of the $45 or whatever Volvo gets for it. Their prices may have gotten more reasonable now that the newest ones are over 10 years old. In 2000, that piece was still a bit pricey in my mind. But you can still get it from Volvo Parts if you can't find one. They snap in, but the pins on the back break off with alarming regularity. It is ugly when it's missing, no doubt.
You can have mine, but the car it's attached to will cost you $1500.
As for the leather, there are a lot of good cleaner/conditioner products out there. Try your local hardware or department store, in the cleaning products section or a big chain autoparts store. Reportedly the best product for leather is "Lexol". I'm sure others will get it clean as well. I've used Windex and Castrol Super Clean to get rid of crap on the plastic and vinyl interior parts. You will be surprised how much dirt is on there.
