I finally gave up and traded in my 1999 S80 T6 this morning. I have some items left over that are practically new: (3) coil packs - Around $67/each at dealer.

I took it apart and found that the lip that holds the panel to the top of the door had unglued off. I glued it back on and now my problem is worse. When I unlock the car and try to open the driver door, it almost always re-locks now, whereas it only used to do it once in a while. I think the problem...
