rear seat carpet underlay

Post by mjack »

Hello folks,

I have to replace the carpet underlay in the rear drivers side floor and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what to use other than the Volvo oem part. They want 300 bucks canadian for it, that's robbery!

The old one got extremely wet because of we think a leak in the front underneath the fuse panel. I am hoping there is also not a leak in the rear of the vehicle. Does anyone eve hear of where the leak may be entering from the rear?

Thanks as always.

1) Check with an auto trim shop. They have non-OEM suppliers and discount OEM suppliers.
2) Check with Volvo junk yard for a wreck that has a good underlay.
3) Check with any Independant Volvo repair (body and mechanical) and see if they have a source or an extra one laying arround.

Good Luck,
