Strangely enough, neither do my Volvo "Green" book help much. All they say is "remove the hinges....."

I think you have to remove the panel that surrounds the fuse panel, and maybe the fuse panel itself. BE SURE that the battery negative cable is disconnected first.

Before loosening the hinges, mark the location of the hinge on both of the "A" pillar and on the door so you can get the adjustment close when installing.

You will want to remove the door sill, (hard upward pull alternating between front and rear) and the front part of the black U-Shaped molding that goes all around the door over the welded seam. There may be some metal clips inside it - they are sharp.

There are also some clips on that side panel, under the molding. those clips are sharp, too.

Before you get the door loose, have all the wires and things disconnected, there are connectors. Support the door, I understand its 30 to 40 pounds.

Good Luck,

Bob
