850 Tailgate Rattle

Post by Larryalix »

The top trim on the tailgate of the 95' 850 GLT Wagon I just bought last week is loose and rattling. It appears the holes that the fasteners slide through are worn and will not hold. I 've seen on ebay there are a couple of kits for sale ,and I know there was a sevice bulletin put out by Volvo in the past regarding this problem. That tells me this is a common problem and I was wondering if anyone can recommend the kit or offer any other solution?
