Boot Release Handle Rod Corroded
My59 V70 2.0d ~150k Manual tailgate
Boot release handle has sometimes been a bit sticky and not always returning boot handle to “closed” position. Decided to take a better look at it today and seems the handle supporting rod has rusted slightly... Photo 1 https://ibb.co/Tt3CfrB Photo 2 https://ibb.co/FK4wjjk I suppose it’s an area I’ve never given any attention to when washing and probably gets quite a bit of salt stuck up in there. Has anyone replaced the rod before or should I look to get a full boot module from a scrap dealer? |

Its a common problem across the Volvo's. I done my V70 and XC90. You need to remove the inside of the boot and the wiper mechanism.... From there you can see the handle from the inside. I used marine grade stainless steel rod to replace it with .

Tony500,
From looking at second hand parts on eBay, the ones with clear photos of the rod are all in a similar condition to mine so would make sense of common issue. Do you happen to know the rod diameter you bought? Shall try and get one before I strip down the boot so only have todo it once. |

Planning to do this on my v70 this week had the replacement stainless steel bar for a while but never got round to it. For anyone that's already done it is it easy enough to get access or a bit of a pain? Never had the boot trim off before

Update job done was easy enough when you get access, huge difference. Now the handle actually springs back after opening the boot

This has been a Volvo Boot Release problem since the V70 was introduced in the late 1990s. I have had it on every V70 and XC70 I have owned, and I have had several, mainly V70s. However what is amazing, is the fact that Volvo had not rectified the problem before the year 2016 when our model xc70 was discontinued.

You can lubricate it with silicone or old fashioned oil periodically and it still works well. Ours has been having this treatment two or three times a year for around six or seven years, started playing up just after we had t at three years old. Still working well today.
