I have a 98 S70 that is emitting horrendous noise from the right side of the dashboard when driving over bumps.

Upon closer examination, it has been discovered that the dashboard clips that secure the dash have broken. The dealer informs me that the only real solution is to replace the dashboard. This vehicle is likely worth $1500 and I cannot justify installing a new dashboard which may cost as much as the vehicle is worth.

Does anyone have a solution or work around for securing a dashboard with broken clips? The noise is driving me nuts.

The vehicle otherwise is in excellent shape. I just want to get another couple of years of service out of it before scrapping it.



98 S70 200,000 miles on the clock and it runs like a charm.
