Stripped break light

Post by Jsmithurst21 »

Hello,
I have a 1996 Volvo 850 and I am trying to replace the thrid tail light, but 2/3 of the bolts are stripped. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jordan

Not sure what you mean, exactly... on the 855 (the wagon), there are no bolts. On the 854, I guess it depends on if you have a rear spoiler with a brake light, or the light in the window - if it's in the window, there are no bolts either, and I'm not sure how the spoiler with a brake light works, tbh.
