He's here, but content has to be meaningful to pull him in.

I won the pool of " can we get someone to order an NLA part before Christmas?"

Seriously , I hope you get them.

Is my glass half full or half empty?

The left one 9151675 is NLA, the right one 9151676 is 3-6 weeks with $40 shipping.

Ouch. Which web store are you using? Maybe you can pickup?

Your hovercraft is full of eels.

I tried again and this time they've confirmed my order and also charged me the additional $14 per item for oversized shipping. This further than I got the last time.

Stumbled into this.

Jim passed away in 2021. Quite the personality.

Was Jim the pilot of the hovercraft?

FWIW, the state of play last year was that they said the parts were available if I was willing to wait a couple of months and pick them up at will-call. Shipping was not an option.

"Jim" was MVS member JRL, world famous Volvo flipper (his cars were usually superb), cranky person, many other attributes.

I'm removing the full-length rail covers from my 2000 V70 so I can install roof racks. They're a little worn as usual, but can be rehabilitated according to this thread. I can get these covers to whoever needs them but I need the windshield-height replacements. I am planning to cut my full-length ones down but if full-length is desirable, I'll trade them for the shorter ones.

The XC70 in VA pick-n-pull had its roof rails removed, left on top of the car, with its full-length rail covers removed. Seems like this trim is still desirable. Does that boxy style of rails simply sit on top of the covers? My smooth rail style has a built-in base which runs the length of the roof. That's why I need windshield-height covers.

I miss JRL. He was a resource and a character. I almost bought a car from him when the engine blew on my V70 back around 2009.

You guys sure rackless isn't reckless?
