Volvo XC70 Door trim cladding repair. You can do it!

[@jct9w]

Thank you so much for making all these videos! Couldn't imagine how I'm able to get any work done without them! Just got my xc70 in Ontario and I'm just glad that someone already done and filmed it.

[@volvosweden]

Thx! More to come

[@ravusursi893]

Thank you my friend, you have saved my life! All parts ordered ready for the weekend! Agnes (my XC) thanks you from the bottom of her sump. 😊

[@mikeclark4416]

Thanks to you just after i bought my V70 ,I bought window mesh held by clips , - PERFECT still in place two years later !

[@geopap1965]

Also a good product and tried and tested for unpainted car plastics(Trim) is the one below, Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer. It does a very good job on plastics.

[@maciekcicho.4269]

It looks like new. Professional job. Greetings from the UK...🙂🙂🙂

[@TheDIDSBIAK]

Again, you just did a good job. Well done Yuri

[@Dalbayob69]

I just had to replace some of them on mine after an accident. Both door trims, both arch trims and sill. Just for information if you buy any of those new they come with tape and clips already on them. For restoring the rest of the trim I can highly recommend Gtechnique C4 (60ml). If applied properly it lasts for 3 years with no need to use any other products on them.

[@skookum_ahc]

I can totally vouch for the Gtechniq C4 stuff. Used it on the grey plastic trim on my 850R and they still look brand new after 4 years. Also it just boosts the original trim color without any tint like some other products. The car is parked during winter times and always stored indoors, so best case scenario for this stuff to last as long as possible, but I'm sure it'll do a great job in not so favorable scenarios as well.

[@Dalbayob69]

@@skookum_ahc I live in UK and it’s always raining here and very humid so better for plastics than Australian sunshine for example but I do wash the car every 2 weeks and this stuff lasted so long. Most of these detailing products only last few weeks before you have to reapply again and over time you end up paying more than the C4 costs. Can’t decide if I like quality products or I’m just lazy🤣

[@skookum_ahc]

@@Dalbayob69 Oh I'd say it's 100% better than most "trim restorers", that just add a little shine to the plastic that's gone after 1-2 washes and you have to reapply the product. I used to use the Meguiars "Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer" and still do sometimes on friends cars I detail, but for longevity there's not many products out there like the C4.

Love your videos. Hello from Romania!!

[@fardmek]

Good and pedagogic video, thanks!

[@g0fvt]

I have to do this soon, thank you for another great tutorial.

[@RBrady-r4t]

Thanks for the terrific video. You made it look super easy. I'll give it a try on mine. Thanks!

[@522Dusty]

BTW, thanks for reminding me of Erie VoVo they were very helpful and informative, and suggested some options I may want to do.

[@svehus]

This is a well known problem in Sweden, Volvo have fixed a lot of plastic panels on warranty on xc70 and v60cc. They blamed the owners of using to effictive cold degreasers when washing the car.

[@JeffersonHumber]

That was satisfying to watch, good job 👍🏻

[@alojzy777]

Great job as usual 😊

[@bernardaflores1720]

Like always a great video.

[@wimgid]

Ah these door trims, they have been a source of irritation for years on my XC70. But doing it correct like this make the job last as long as possible. I always carry some tape in the car so if the trim catches when opening it can be saved from bending and temporarily stuck down. The rears will bend easily if they catch the front door, had to make a small notch to save the panel, like the P2 model has. I think the problem is the plastic warping, if because of salt, degreaser or what I don’t really know.

[@h.z.4585]

I'm glad I'm not the only one AT ALL having to deal with this issue. My 2014 D5 is a great car basically, but things like these reminds me of the fact that all cars are fading now or later...

[@alexolender1131]

Great job

[@marshayermilov]

looks great! thank you for the rust tip!

[@volvosweden]

You are welcome Marsha

[@jeffgroves4533]

Will do to my 2011!

[@convincedquaker]

I had this problem with the driver's door of my identical '09 XC70 after hitting a pothole. The backyard mechanic here in Prince Edward Island inserted a tiny screw through the trim, into the metal, to bend that point on the trim back towards the door so that it would open.

[@fiodor991]

I’ve already done this on my using 3M double sided tape. And after just 2-4 months same problem come back. So I don’t know what tape or glue they are using to do this job. Over the internet people have same issue and probably best glue for this job is windscreen glue. Just no idea how to keep pressed panel to the door for 24hrs. Coz that long glue need to fully solidify.

[@h.z.4585]

Same here. I had to do the rear door driver side because the corner was caught in the front door. I really put a lot of effort in the repair, also using a high quality 3M tape, exactly with the same width as on the original. The most annoying part is getting the adhesive off the trim, as I did not have that rubber disc recommended here. It is almost impossible to do it without damaging the plastic. An alcoholic detergent did the job on the door itself easily, but not on the plastic. And after a couple months the problem appeared again. As the panel has a crack now, I will probably have to replace it completely. Using some kind of additional glue when the corners are sticking out probably is the best idea. One could maybe even do this without taking off the panel completely. If I have to do this, I will use some kind of tape to keep it in place until the glueing is ready. At present, some pieces if tape are holding the trim in place. But the gap between the back and the front doort is really narrow here, a few milimeters less than on the passenger side.

Hello, your videos are great and very informative - thank you. Have you had to located and address Low Boost error code? Xc70 2013 with 195,000 miles. Don’t want to get rid of it just yet. Thank you

[@detailerslife8127]

I see this often as a Detailer where owners aren’t using a pH Neutral Shampoo and using car washes with recycled water with harsh chemicals.

[@volvosweden]

Do you think it affects this issue?

[@detailerslife8127]

This and your Salty roads won’t help with deterioration of the double sided tape and plastics. Very good idea not to replace the older panel with a newer one..beautiful work👌

[@volvosweden]

@detailerslife8127 Thx! Really happy it’s fixed. Next will be the read button on the left signal lever not working. It’s common issue with thin wires getting broken.

[@D5DRIFT]

I think 15 years is absolutely fine. Its done its job

Can you give some details about the headlights you have mounted on the front bumper? I mean what type and hiw they are fixed

Have you ever done a job like this on the 240? The door cladding on my ‘88 240is starting to peel off and I want to repair it. Thanks

[@volvosweden]

I have not. Mine is till ok all around

[@evanmerrick1813]

Do you have any information on doing the plastic over the rear fenders? The tape has completely let go on mine and debris is building up inside. Im looking to redo them similar to this.

[@volvosweden]

I feel like it will be the same process.

[@evanmerrick1813]

@@volvosweden I figured as much. Do you know if it’s the same part number on those clips as well?

9:31 that adhesion promoter is nasty stuff, and I always wear gloves when I use it because it’s really really bad for your skin.

[@volvosweden]

Thx. Never knew

[@hughAZZ]

you get free clips and tape if you buy the new overpriced panel. Also DO NOT APPLY 3M adhesive promoter to the car, like VOLVOSWEDEN said. it will fuck you finish.

[@volvosweden]

Thx for the tip!!!!

[@hughAZZ]

@@volvosweden np. without your great vids we would be fucked by the stealerships. Btw: 1/2" double sided tape is too wide relative to what comes with the new panel. I suspect 3/8" is the right width. 1/2" wont help you as there is nothing to grap on to. Also, don't go crazy with the rubber wheel on the panel. You will fuck it up.
