I purchased it from a local car hifi supplier - very simple and useful carbon heat seater pads.

Front suspension is sagged down!

Rear too, but not that much as the front.

Nice house, btw.

Thx for the comment!
It has rock solid suspension, the former owner replaced the shock adsorbers - I can feel in my stomach each pothole...

Springs are sagged.

This is 2002 V70 with new struts and old springs:

New Meyle struts died just in 6 months, I had them replaced with Sachs, and also put new Suplex springs:

Car has suspension and steering rebuilt all around, and it drives like new.

... and removed the useless phone-handspeaker and its holder for much space for others.

I'm thinking on to reinstall properly the rain sensor: sticking the rubber back to the windscreen.
After removal the plastic cover: the whole unit is off the window.

BTW:

1. How can I remove the metal cover from the unit? No screws observed.
2. I will use some good quality window glue silicone. Do I put it on the rubber sealing only or on the sensor as well?

Short info to be appreciated, please!

Rain sensors came out in 2004
