So we just purchased a 98 V70 GLT with 51k miles. Just out of warranty. It would appear that we have the 'dreaded' door panel delamination. To clarify-on all four of our doors in the 'armrest' area where the door handle is the material has pulled away in the rear corners of this area. It seems kind of strange though-looks pulled away but seems too taut to have possibly been attached?! (I can post a link to pictures if this doesn't make sense). Anyway, does this describe the problem others have had? Even though we have no warranty do we have any hope of getting it fixed without it being totally out of pocket? I saw a brief mention of there being a TSB on this issue. Is this true and if so does anyone know what the number is and what the action is?
I did some searching and found a few old threads...does anyone remeber the names/keywords for some other past threads on the subject? Thanks!
Also, does anyone have a good source for reasonably priced new or used parts? The switch for the rear drivers side passenger map/courtesy light is toast and I would like to replace it myself. Also need a plastic speaker cover for the rear drivers side door (the one there is cracked) and a door light (you know-the red one in the door) for the passenger front. All stuff I have no problem doing myself and would like to get a good price/source for parts (I'm in the SF Bay area if it matters).
Thanks!
Andrea
