Sometimes they just stick and it isn't anything more than that. A small shot of WD40 fixed mine.
2011 XC70 T6 - current
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Q2 - Totaled in 2022. Not my fault.
2011 XC60 - sold
2000 V70XC - given to a friend, wish I still had it.

thanks for all your help and advice on this topic. I'm sorry it took me so long to read the last couple of post but I found the best way to stop worrying so how much about every little thing wrong with my Volvo...about an even older BMW.
