Re: The "CRACK" is back!

Your defrost panel/ dash carrrier is cracking. The cold plastic is suddenly expanding when the hot defrost air hits it. Sometimes, the cracks are barely visible on the top and often they are on the rear side where the cowl mounts are. This was a bad design by VOLVO, dissimilar plastics adhered ...

Re: Wood Or No Wood

Here it is. I pulled this from a local yard out of 97 T5. Best part of is the $40.00 price for dash, shift bezel (upper and lower)and shift handle. Lots of 850s in the local u-pull it yards!
