A post trim
Can anybody give details on removing A post interior trim from 2005 V70 for repair to covering. What clips are there holding it on?
Thanks |

Pull the door seal back from the edge of the trim and then pull at the top!
There's one clip at the top, it's designed to pop off if the side air-curtain deploys. It has a retainer strap which stops the trim coming away completely. Once the panel is partly off you can get behind to the clip, twist the clip 90 degrees and it will release from the A pillar. You can then lift the trim up to clear the side of the dash at the bottom. The clips are not designed to be re-used. Sometimes they will go back but I've found that more often than not they pop off again. They are available from Volvo dealers for a few pence each. There are two types, pre-facelift and post-facelift. Post-facelift has different size spigots so you can't fit it the wrong way round. |

I also have a few videos on my channel, search youtube "a-pillar peppermint". As mentioned, it's better to buy new ones because they have small tabs that get bent. Otherwise, I suggest undoing it from the metal frame, using long nose pliers. Also careful with the yellow pin, it may not fit back properly and start to rattle
