- As in the title, showing how to swap later A-pillar trims with detaching fabric, to identical plastic trim from early years - just be sure to match the colors
Thanks for the removal guide, just sanded off the old glue and applied 3m headliner adhesive to restick the fabric. Just have to let the adhesive dry for a minute before letting the fabric touch otherwise itll look wet.
Thank you so much for making this video. I find it amazing that you care about safety so much. As an ER doctor I thank you for making our jobs easier.
Appreciate your feedback. I've just uploaded another video on the matter of safety, if you can give us your input - and any other advice - it would be appreciated ruclips.net/video/uKnRxxgSDoY/видео.html
What if i broke that little yellow thingy in the middle? should i be concerned about it? Thanks in advance
I did this repair on my ‘05 V70 today. I wouldn’t have even attempted it without this video. Thank you!!
👍
Thanks! It took me 30 seconds per side! Use the existing clips from the newer fabric covered ones in place of the clips on the older plastic covers! Great upgrade
Thank you, I needed to know this as the fabric on mine has come away 👍👍👍
This is a great vídeo, the fabric a-pillar on my 08 looks terrible. UPDATE: Replaced the trim in my S60 with some a-pillars I found on my local junkyard from an ‘02 donor car. Paid $8 for both. Did exactly like the video.
Same here. I have an 06 s60 that had the same problem, watched this video, went to PickAPart, and for $14 got "new" beige A-Pillars (once I cleaned them with a magic eraser), and replaced them both within 10 minutes.
@@webbmoncure that’s awesome man. Every place I check for the part is like $70+. Might have to check out PickAPart.
@@SpanishFly45 you can also check ebay for used ones. If I'm getting them for $15 a pop, I may get many more pairs because other people may want to buy them in the volvo forums.
@@webbmoncure I’m going to check my local salvage yards since they have a few S60’s. If I don’t get any I might have to buy a pair from you. Lol
@@SpanishFly45 look for 01-03 s60s, v70s, and xc70s
Best video I've seen for this job. Great explanations and warnings. Thank you.
Thanks again for your detailed video , really helpful pulling out parts for my xc70
Welcome
Great video. I am doing this job right now but i am going to put new fabric on.
This video was very helpful. Thank you!!
👍👍
Can I remove my cloth covered trim, peel off the cloth, give it a good sanding and paint it?
Also where can I buy yellow clips for inside door threshold?
hi, how did you find these a-pillar trims? I can't find the plastic covers anywhere, would appreciate it!!
If you notice, the metal side A-pillar black clip can just be pressed into the hole you don't have to turn it on the installation. Only on removal
They can be pressed in, but the reason why I try to rotate them is that is forcing on the small plastic locking 'bumps' may cause them to crack or to break because the plastic is old, and these 'bumps' is what is keeping the entire safety strap in place. Perhaps if installing a new one should be fine to just press it in - but Volvo doesn't sell them separately
For reference : I have a US 2004 S60 2.5t, it has the plastic faced A pillars.
Clips part number (from Zacharias RUclips member) Part number for the smaller clip that fits the plastic trim: 8684846 and for the larger clip that fits the fabric covered trim: 8684606
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for this video!
Do you also know how to change the C pillar trim?
Does removing the trim trigger a warning, is the car still drivable for a day or two while I take mine off and flock them?
Should be no problem to drive without the trim - but I cannot tell for sure. No electrical connector on this trim. What's important is to install the safety strap correctly when putting the trim back in place
Dear Peppermint, thanks a lot for numerous Volvo repair videos. They are really useful. For the Ocean Race emblems, any chance to share? I am willing to buy from you.
thanks I may try this
Hello! Do you have the part number for the safety strap for the plastic trim? (With the smaller clip.)
Maybe see my other videos with the A-pillar trim, but from what I remember the small safety strap is not sold separately, so it may not have a number for itself. You should be able to replace the entire A-pillar trim, plastic and fabric ones should be interchangeable - may find a used one at the breakers
@@Peppermint1 Thanks for your reply. Today I managed to buy two new clips from Volvo. Part number for the smaller clip that fits the plastic pillars: 8684846 and for the larger clip that fits the pillars in fabric: 8684606
I did this repair on my ‘05 V70 today. I wouldn’t have even attempted it without this video. Thank you!!
