How much would you pay for a set of nice XC90 roof trim strips

Post by JimBee »

The XC90 strips are slightly modified from the 850's. The set I saw had no peeling and I thought would like nice on my GLT wagon. But the yard charges $2.00 per foot for trim and those strips are about 10 feet long. Yikes.

Would you pay $40.00 for the set? Plus tax, of course.

Consider them priceless! Mine on my 04 S80 started peeing peeling a couple of years ago and Volvo has discontinued them for my car at least, so looking at peeling ugly strips is my only option at any price... boy I wish I had bought a set and had them hanging around for when I did actually need them. Also now the rubber against the windshield attached to the strips is not available separately to make matters worse. June

Compared to all the the other little things that add up, still on the fence about them. If they're still available this week I'll be giving it some deep thought.
