Thank you for all the suggestions! my glovebox is functioning correctly. it latches closed, and opens with a tug on the handle. yes, something could be loose, but I think it's coming from the latch on the glovebox door and the U shaped loop on the dash. part of it seems to be worn, as if it's been ...

Hi, my 2004 V70 has a rattling glovebox. Wondering if anyone has found a solution for this.

Never mind, I found the tire placard on the fuel filler door!
195/65-R15 it is.

I bought my car used and it came with 205/65-R15 installed by the previous owner. Tirerack says it should be 195/65-R15 but wheel-size.com thinks it should be 205/65-R15. What is the correct size for my car?

I'm looking to add a roof top carrier to my 2004 V70. I was going to buy some used OEM rails (front to back) and then use a cross rail (side to side). But I'm reading that to install the OEM rails, I have to cut into a metal trim piece. But I see many aftermarket cross bars which clips into the door ...

It's been a while since my last post, but I finally got a permanent fix.

I looked at the moulding on the other side of the car. The front edge of the window moulding was tucked under the side mirror housing.

So I used a plastic pry tool, lifted the mirror housing just enough to slide the window ...

Does the car have the deadlocks? IIRC it can't be unlocked mechanically from outside if locked from inside.


Interesting.. so I tried using the key on the door and it won't turn no matter what. Given that the window frame was a little bent when I bought the car, the previous owner must have ...

Are you the original owner?

Maybe the ignition lock @ steering column was changed in the past?


I'm the 4th owner, purchased 2 years ago and driven 11k miles. The airbag was replaced from the recall, but I don't know about the steering column or ignition cylinder. But that would explain why the ...

So I'm going to be very careful not to lock the car with the key in the ignition.

Still, I wonder why neither of my physical keys won't work in the lock cylinder. I could almost swear that it worked months ago, and I have both original keys.
Could it be because the "Alarm system" service light is ...
