"Leaking" driver side door

Just recently, after a rain, I open my front driver side door and water pours ou from the bottom rubber lining. It also gathers in a puddle on the side step. I took the door panel off. Nada. Dry. I can't find any ceiling water stains, the window rubber trim is tight. It all seems to come directly fr...

Battery quick disconnect for the XC 90?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing to enable me disconnect the battery without having to spend 3+l minutes moving boxes, coaxing the first cover off, unscrewing three bolts, etc? Man, that would be such a help. Thanks!

Snow chains on an XC90?

In the last week on January I will be traveling to snow country. Does anyone put chains on their XC90? If so, front or rear? I suspect it's rare to need them but I'm thinking of those literal blizzards you may be caught in. Then again, a little weather wisdom would hopefully prevent that.

Re: Weather Stripping?

Thank you! I did do a check but all is tight via the YouTube vid. I'm wondering if after 15 years the door trim begins to dry rot. I may be over the top but there was certainly a noticeable difference with my cheap rental car.

Weather Stripping?

After renting a car last month, I began to think that the weather stripping on my 15 year old Volvo needed replacing. It is particularly loud at the top of the window. No air coming in but somewhat noisy after the rental. Thoughts?

Radiator fan won't stop

My radiator fan runs after the engine stops. Yes, I know it runs "purposely" at times when the car parks. HOWEVER, my fan will stop when the engine is off and then, maybe ten minutes later will come on by itself, only to run the battery dead. One person said a bad switch, and another said ...

Vent fan continues to run

Lately I have noticed that the vent fan in my XC 90 will continue to run when I get out of the car. If I don't have my hearing aids in I will sometimes miss it running. It is not every time. In fact, maybe once a week or every other week. It does not shut off with obvious results. Any hints?

Re: Leaking sunroof and hatch window

WHOA!!! THANKS! Good points. Got that word pic on tube splicing. Works on ice makers too! Also, when the wife is not home, I'll get that turkey baster and walk through it. She got all bent out of shape when she found out I used one of her measuring spoons to fill my sprayer with Round Up concentrate...
