If your trunk fails to latch when you close it, it could be the receiver. Mine got pushed down somehow, causing a temporarily inexplicably-non-latching trunk when I got my 850 back from u-Haul. (I had them install a trailer hitch.)

Hmm.

After some investigation, I adjusted the receiver loop up (star bolts) and it was once again normal. You have to remove the plastic trim to get to the bolts, but this is trivial.

Here’s a bunch of photos I snapped of my 850 when it was on a lift. Yes, you may use them to link to, copy, modify, label or anything else you’d like to. If you use them on another site, I’d appreciate a link back to this site.

If you have photos you’d like to donate to this reference library — of any Volvo model — please email them to me matt (at) matthewsvolvosite (dot) com. Thanks!

and many more!
