is it possible to get a 'cover' for the rear of a station wagon. i like to keep stuff in the back but don't want it to be open for all to see (out of sight out of mind).
thanks

I believe Volvo World (www.volvoworld.com) carries them... probably less $$$ than the dealer. Ebay is a good bet, too, if you can be patient - that's where I found mine (new in box, about $50)... but it took a couple months of looking. The cover from any 700, 940, or pre-95 960 should fit... don't know about 95+ 960.

If you're looking for an official Volvo 240 wagon luggage/cargo cover, I believe the following eBay auctions would be of help to you. The first auciton is still open, the second one is closed, but it gives you an idea of the $ value of these covers.

Argh! I thought I was reading the 200 series forum and thus posted the auctions for 240 Wagon cargo covers.

Here's the only auction I could find for a 700 series cargo cover:

Yes they are still avaiable from Volvo. There are two kits listed only one is still available. It is one with out the HAT shelf.

Yes there are factory cargo covers. Keep an eye on Ebay, or try
www.erievovo.com who may have a good used one. Probably get one out of a 965 or similar high-line model.

A loadspace cover is well worth getting hold of. My 745 had one when I bought it and I find that I use it almost constantly. The genuine Volvo item incorporates a nice carpeted parcels shelf.

They are still available from Volvo dealers in various colours, but are likely to be expensive- One of the members here has a Volvo 700 site with the covers' part numbers listed on it.

If you buy a secondhand cover, be sure to get the mountings and the retaining fasteners (The latter are available from Volvo) with it so you can actually fit it to your car.
