Mystery 850 Volvo parts? Help?

Post by giovannibianco »

Hello,

Some years ago we bought a "dog screen" from Ebay (or wherever) for our 1995 850.
It's the style WITHOUT the pneumatic raising shocks.
It came with four extra parts (2 each for left/right).
I could not figure out at the time what these parts do and where they would attach.
I figure they've got something to do with holding the screen in place when raised/lowered?
Photo attached of these parts.
Can anyone advise me before I bin them ... or they spend the net "N" years on my parts box?

They hold the grille in place, plastic ones are the top one and metals for the lowered position

Thanks! I figured this had to be the case... I go and take a closer look at where these are to be attached.

@giovannibianco: Before you bin these parts: I'm looking for those. I put them somewhere in a bag and haven't seen them in years. I'd love to get the rattling out of the trunk compartment ...

I have never seen those clips. I will have to take another look at my old Vida copy as I don't recall them at all and never seen any for sale. Maybe we didn't get them over here?
