2008 S80 cover for console cup holder stuck

Ok, not a show stopper but the sliding cover over the front cup holders in the center console is sticking/stuck. This is the one that rolls up and down like the antique roll top desks used to. Any experiences on repair or replacement out there? It is an interesting point of failure as it has been le...

Re: Wheel Locks for XC90 free

Did I mention I'll pay the postage.
You can put them on ebay if you want, I just hate to toss them in the metal scrap bucket.

Volvo XC90 strut brace mount

How much movement should there be when you grab the brace and shake? Car has 185k miles and there is at least 1 inch of play front to rear when I grab it.
If I replace the pair from Groton, what's the torque setting to crank them down to?
Thanks,
