the clips come off with an "e-clip plyers" there is an o-ring and small clear rubber seal. seals are 5.36 at Volvo -2.25 at fcpgroton. Very easy to change.

I read in you posting that you had managed to get your door panels repaired. I now have two panels with the infamous "bubble" problem. The places I've tried so far won't even touch these panels. Could you tell me what your shop did to fix the panels? Did they just reglue them or were they recovered with new material? I am anxious to get mine fixed and would greatly appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help. With the Bay 13 instructions, the engine mount was about a twenty minute job not including clean up time. That saved about $190. labor. The hose clip I was asking about is also explained on Bay 13. The dealer said to be careful not to spread the clip out too far or it will have to be replaced. The clip is about $10.. Everybody says to use snap ring pliers. Thanks Teak.

Thanks for the link to Bay 13. Very helpful. I still haven't figured out the clip that holds the hose onto the radiator. Its the hose just under the top radiator hose. With the radiator being plastic right there I may just let the dealer handle that part. Going to get the motor mount this week to change out. Thanks.

Not difficult to replace the mount. You'll need to support the car with the RF wheel off. Fold the fender liner forward on the score line after removing the rear fasteners. Use a jack with a block of wood under the oil pan to gently lift the engine. There are 2 bolts going into the engine and 2 going into the subframe. You'll need some blue loctite for the bolts. If your parts guy doesn't ask you for your VIN, go elsewhere as there are several mounts for '98's. Check your other mounts. The top one is usually the first to go.

The Bay13 site has details on the engine mount replacement procedure:
