Rear bulb replacement
 
Need to replace a brake light bulb, but interior panel doesn't seem to want to come off to allow access to light unit nuts and don't want to force and break it.

Is there a nack to this or just brute force and ignorance :)

Cheers

You need to remove some floor trim first.

Remove the "curry carrier" by lifting the flap up and releasing the two retaining straps. You can then lift it out. Then on the side of interest, lift out the small, triangular polystyrene filler block in the floor, next to the lighting access panel.

With that out of the way, you should see a small plastic/metal tab at the bottom of the access panel- should be a simple matter to pull it up and towards you.

If you force it as it is, you'll likely split the polystyrene block.

What Moose said...

It's covered in the owner handbook.

If you haven't got one, they are available on line here https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/xc90manual.shtml

Cheers

Cheers dudes, have the handbook here but from what I'd seen just said remove panel, didn't mention what you've pointed out.
