The lower trim is usually ok. It's the side and the top that rust. You can buy all of the trims separately as well. £250 is still a lot though. I suppose it depends on how perfect you want your car to be.

Yes, it is the top and sides that are bad on mine...... And I do want it right.... But.

One of the real kickers is that they want nearly 70E for postage!!!!!!!

It's also a bugger not knowing if I'll need the clips or not, (I know it's likely), as ordering them separately would incur a 35E postage charge on a 19E item!

Honestly, I really feel like I'm being stiched up proper with this one.

Doubt you will need the clips, just be gentle as you pull the trim off, I usually only break them when taking the clips off of breakers.

If I have to get new from them I guess I will........... but far rather not potentially pay over £300 for a couple of bits of trim!
Do you really need all sections of the trim, I ask because I've just bought the two side sections from R&D CAR PARTS, 166.16 euro = £140.66 delivered, I then bought some new clips on ebay, don't know if I'm going to need the clips has I've not started the job yet, but I thought it's best to have some to hand, David.

Hi David

I'm planning on doing this soon as both my side trims are pretty ropey. I might splash out on the top one as well.

Do you have a link to the Ebay clips ?

Cheers, Mark

Hi Mark, I got mine from PARTS MONSTER, Ebay item number 284382019342, I just checked and could not see them listed, suggest you contact them direct via ebay. David
Just went back on ebay and typed in Volvo windscreen clips, they came back up with PARTS MONSTER.

As stated above I paid 166.16 euro for the above, part of that was 24.50 euro shipping fee, so I thought that was that, expensive yes ! but I needed the trim, now just to rub salt in, the postie has just been, I now have a invoice from FEDEX for IMPORT DUTIES/TAX for £40.65 that they say they have paid so that my goods could clear customs, no way was I expecting this, there is/was no info from R&D CAR PARTS that duty would have to be paid, so if your buying from abroad BE WARNED ! not a happy chappie to say the least, David.
