99 V70 XC Tailgate lock assembly - broken!

Post by **tboothe33** » 27 Aug 2010, 09:03

I need help please. For about 6 months my idiot light as been telling me the tailgate is open, but it wasn't. Well, I guess it knew what it was talking about because this weekend my tailgate assembly stopped working. It won't latch closed at all. Currently we have the tailgate tied closed. I looked on FCPGroton for a new tailgate lock assembly, but I could not find anything. Where is a good place to get a replacement for my tailgate lock assembly? And is it difficult to install?

Thank you.

Tracy : )

Dealer. Not too difficult, but get a panel fix kit while you're buying parts.
You'll probably break or find some broken plastic where the clips attach.
IPD has one: http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-S70V70-1998 ... 0-498-212/

They provide fresh panel clips as well.

A small plastic part is the main problem most of the times. Like in my case. Will post pics if I get to fix it
