Thanks you guys for all this info. Today, I replaced the original boot floor strut on my 2009 V70 D5244 T5 with one from Meyle and it works a treat; about an 1" longer but fully supports the floor with my tools in etc. Very grateful.

A bit of information for those looking to retrofit the strut to the later XC70 and V70 models that didn’t come with the strut from the factory.
My 2014 didn’t have a strut, therefore I’m order to retrofit I bought a used floor panel (as mine needed replacing anyway) and made sure the one I bought had the small attachment knob fitted.
I then bought a used left hand side floor rail as this is where the lower attachment point is, again made sure it had the attachment knob on it.
Finally I cut the slot out of the storage tray (using pictures of used trays online) and fitted a brand new strut - which works perfectly.
All in the cost was approx £65 - £35 for the floor, £15 for the rail and £15 for the strut. |
