The plastic protection part where my seat belt comes out of the side column
broke. Anybody know where I might order one?
Hello:
As your car is still quite new as far as a Volvo goes, the best place
to get the part in question will be your local dealer--or at a pick-n
-pull if you have the time and can stand wading through snow in the
Rochester area...but the nearest one I know to you is in Auburn NY.
It still amazes me when I see friends driving 50 miles each way to the
Pick-N-Pull in Auburn to get an inexpensive part--and they never know
in advance if the part is actually there, are charged $2 just to enter
the yard--and that is not refundable even if they find the part they
need.
I call the parts guy I know at the dealer and if it's not in stock
they order it and I have it in 1 to 3 days at a fair price--and
without driving 100 miles.
Am I frugal? Yes! Will I spend hours driving and the fuel to go get a
$10 used part when I can get a new one from the dealer for nearly the
same price? Absolutely not!
I could use a new latch assembly for one of my wagons and it's nearly
$100 from the dealer. For that I'll wait until Spring and find one at
a yard or buy it on Ebay if I have time.
Good Luck
