Armrest cupholder - and sunvisor
The Volvo armrest cupholders do get in the way a bit of the manual shift - especially when fully extended. I get by the problem by using one of the rear holders - which I can easily reach - or by only using 1st, 3rd and 5th ;-p
Seriously though, the extra comfort gained by the armrest being so much higher and better padded than the standard one almost makes the purchase justifiable....
On the subject of sunvisors...
My driver-side sunvisor was broken too and I thought I'd won a watch when I pulled a pristine one from a scrap motor at the weekend. The donor vehicle, like mine, was a J-reg 940 saloon with similar trim so I had no reason to doubt it would fit. Well it didn't. The "new" one had much deeper counterbores for the mounting screws and the hinge mounting was a completely different shape being flatter where mine was contoured to match the roof profile.
Using a hacksaw and a file, I've bodged the "new" sunvisor into postition but there are unsightly gaps and I'm far from happy.
