Call me crazy, but... 900 1995

It's been a while since I scrapped my 960, but isn't there access from a pull-down armrest in the middle of the rear seat? I'm wondering if you could gain limited access to the trunk and perhaps to the hex screw heads holding the latch inside. Would take a really long socket extension, but may be possible...

Just a thought...

By the way, the peeling door panels (also referred to as "puckering" in this application, in case you search these archives), is a common problem with the 95 models. I think it had something to do with Volvo being environmentally friendly and using crappy glue.

When I scrapped my '94 960, I took the door panels (front and rear) and swapped them with the door panels in my '95 945. The '94 model had molded plastic without the vinyl cover that puckers like the '95 model. The only difference I could tell was that the front door panels for the '95 had a cutout to allow defrost air go through the door and into the side window. The '94 model did not have the defrost ducting in the door. But it would have been a simple matter to cut out the defrost hole and install the hardware from the other panel. I didn't bother, but it looked pretty easy to do. I was fortunate that both interiors were the same color. I also swapped the center console so my '95 now has cupholders.
