Yup, that's the regular gloss white. Platinums were only the Turbo trim level.

When I apply the significant force to pull out the stick, I think it splashes oil around, throwing off the dipstick reading. Has anyone experienced and solved this problem?
.
Lubricate the O-Rings with silicone grease and twist slightly, right and left as you pull the dipstick. The grease can take a lot of heat.

Had to remove the rear seat bottoms and now I'm wondering, what are those red tabs for? The small lever things that attach to the same cross bar.

I also "converted" my tailgate trim to use wide pads of adhesive instead of clips. Hoping it lasts.

Those are the latches holding the seat cushions in the car. Unclipping them allows removing them completely.

Something might be broken on mine then, as they don't seem to have any effect, I can pull them out either up or down. Thanks.

There is a cheap repair kit for repairing the tailgate mounts. Skandix probably sells it. Volvo sells one but they do not include the clips to remount the inner cover, the aftermarket one usually does.

You just have to be really careful installing those, since it's VERY easy to just shatter the plastic.

I carefully use a small drill bit to predrill the holes to prevent breaking the plastic. You could then use JB Plastic glue and reinforce the repair.
