Gas Tank Flap doesn't seat properly. What to do? V70-XC70 1999

Klaus,

I don't think it is the hinge. It appears to be working correctly. It isn't loose, that is "swings up and down". However, I confirmed with my local Volvo dealer the hinge is still available (about $13). When I bring the XC to my auto body shop, I will share your suggestion with them. If required, I can hustle down to my local Volvo dealership and get it to them immediately. I'm thankful the hinge is still available and not a "Classic Part". Otherwise, I would be compelled to buy it now, just so if it is required, the auto body shop would have it available before the XC came into the shop. Personally, I hope you are right. Replacing a hinge would be a relatively "cheap fix" for an esthetic issue that has bothered me for almost a year. Like a speck of dust in my eye.

Hugh
