How can something so simple be screwed so bad by the engineers.. Volvo must have hired some VW engineers for this car..
Who the heck takes 2 straps holding a tank up and use 1 anchor point for both straps.
In what world was that a good idea?
It should have been easy to do this job, but not for me. I'd rather take my f250 tank down full of gas than do this again.
Still can't get the long bracket that angles from back drivers side to mount like it should.
I had to use one of the outside 2 holes to mount it. No amount of tugging, pushing and lifting was going stretch that
strap the 1/2" I need to mount it proper. Even the short one didn't want to line up without a fight.
Oh and why the heck did they use welded on nuts for the bumper bracket supports..
That crap was rust welded and no way to reuse those when you have to drill the bolts out.
Well I managed to save one hah.
God I love the rust belt..
ps: the youtube videos showing bumper replacement are deceiving too, if you live in the rust belt expect a battle.
