The 745 and 945 rear cargo space outer window trims are the same and both suffer from 'long term' shrinkage of the rubber strip cap attached to the bright or black metal lower window trim. The rubber has not survived well over time.
The rubber as originally designed stopped water entering the the inside of the car and puddling in the lower cargo space wheel arch. The rubber is attached to the metal trim by spring clips. The trim metal and rubber is removed as one item being attached by separate plastic clips to the body. Age will have had its way and the clips are very fragile and highly likely to break-up on removal of the trim.
I have never been able to find a suitable replacement rubber unlike window scrappers. Short of removing the trim and repairing it by butting on with super glue a short section obtained from a breaker the best answer is to mould a section into the gap with some mouldable sealant.
Should anyone know a source of suitable replacement rubber strip that info would be most welcome.
As to the windscreen trims you have probable noted from a very recent thread that thses can still be obtained from Volvo at a horrific cost.
Bob.
