'98 V70 -- Hood Pad Insulation Clips Still Available?

Post by E Showell »

Anybody know whether the plastic clips that hold the hood insulation pad to the underside of the hood are still available? I need to change out an oil soaked pad, but am loathe to do so if I'm likely to destroy the existing clips beyond reuse in the process. I am less than confident that clips exposed to 15 years of engine heat will be in great shape. When the replacement pad was pulled (not by me), not a single clip survived.

I think so, I ordered a whole bunch last year from a Volvo dealer.
Call and ask them and see what they say.

They come off pretty easy if I recall. Just a twist with a screwdriver. I pull them at the junkyard just to have a few ready to go.
