Volvo Repair Database How to remove the ceiling ?

Post by simon templar »

Greetings all,

I am an emergency responder in NJ, and I would like to install some emergency lights on the top of the windshield.
Can someone tell me how to remove the panel in front middle of the ceiling (the one who has the sun roof button, reading lights, etc..) without breaking it ? I thin it is the only thing that holds the ceiling to the roof...

I am trying to access the part that goes from the top of the windshield to the sun visors screws

Thanks !

HI !

Thanks a ton. My issue is actually with what they call the ROOF MODULE in your document.
Would you have anything that explain how to remove it without breaking it ?

When I had a jeep, I was able to buy the service manual and do a lot of mods myself.
Where can I buy the service manual for Volvo ? The only thing I found is this online subscription crap.

Thanks !

Roof module

Instructions - Your dealer uses a system called VIDA. I have heard you can buy one online.

I will look for the module, thank you...

Now, can you share the "interior lightning" module ?
The one you just shared refers to it...

Thanks a ton :)

HI ,

I meant this module: Bulb interior lighting, replacing .
I believe it is the complement of "Interior Lighting, replacing.


Thanks

Hey,

I'm searching for VIDA on line, which brought me to volvotechinfo.com
Where do you buy the DVD or Installation file, that will make this available on your computer, without needing to be online connected to volvotech system ?

Thanks

The Bulb module is the rearmost light. I imagined you just dropping the front of the headliner so you can run wires.

Here is the bulb module
