Bad Door 1998 V70

Discussion in 'Volvo V70' started by Alan Mushnick, Apr 13, 2004.

  1. The door on my 98 V70 makes a horrible noise. The hinges are fine. The
    middle part of the door that provides the detents and stopping(name?)
    has come apart inside the frame of the car. I had it fixed by a good
    body shop, but it lasted only 2 days and broke again. The rubber
    boot/cover mives and that piece isn't secure.
    Is this a defect that has been reported before? Recall?

    This is a common problem, but no recall or anything. I'd say if your
    body shop's repair only lasted 2 days, they aren't as good as you
    think. Any independent Volvo specialist should be able to do a
    permanent fix for this, or look at:

    A fairly good body shop can weld this for you or you could return to your
    Volvo dealer & they can repair for you this is a common problem with the 850
    & X70
