Hi to everyone out there in Volvo land! Can anyone help with my query, please? I have a 1991 480 Turbo and want to attach a bike rack to the back.
My worry is that the rear door/window is just glass and this is what it would be attached to. Has anyone tried this before or know if it is strong enough? I suspect the answer is 'Duh! its a Volvo' but would rather be safe than sorry. Sorry if I am living up to the Volvo owner's steryotype!
Thanks, Jon.

You need a specific 480 bike rack. There's a new one for sale at the Dutch market place at the mo for €50. In Dutch it's called "fietsendrager" Volvo part#31217060
