My parts department gave me some discount, so I paid £15.35. If they do the job I'll be happy.

Great. Pick mine up Saturday. Presume there is an instruction included? Are they just attached with self tapping screws?

There is no instructions with them, but they are easy to fit. If you run your hand around the inside of the wheel arch and feel for 3 nuts, these are made of plastic and can be undone with your fingers, you now need to offer up the the new part, took me a while to work out which one went on what side. The bottom hole in the new guard needs to go at the bottom of wheel arch, you'll find 2 torx screw heads, remove the outer one and then fix the bottom hole of guard there using screw that you have removed.
Hopefully this hasn't over complicated things.
I didn't mine in the garage so had limited access.

Ah I see so just goes into existing holes. That's good sounds simple just a fiddle.

Yes, no holes to drill, no need to take any wheels off. Some of its just by feel, with the plastic nuts. But you will need a small torx screw driver or Allen key to remove the bottom screw and possibly a torch.

Just been out down a dirty track and they do work except there is a bit of dirt collects at the bottom of the door still as the new mudguards leave a hole at the bottom which still allows some dirt to come through.

Not tried mine yet, 350 miles round trip on Sunday, so should be a good test. Unless the sun happens to shine all day. 🤣🤣
Could the hole be filled with some silicone or similar?

5 minutes to fit and that included wiping the dirt off the edge of the door...thanks very much to the chap who posted the initial heads up...and Happy Chrimbo and all that Bah Humbug!

Thank you for the part number, I will be getting these fitted on my 10 week old XC60 - I'll be going for it FOC as well - don't know how I'll get on.

Whilst I'm here though does anyone have issues with the rear doors not closing well. Numerous times I've had differing people get out of the back, particularly on the near side , and when they close the door it only 'half closes' and isn't flush with the side of the car. The car locks when I get out of it and the door can't be opened but later on my Volvo app tells me the car is unlocked.

I don't want to have to tell my grand children to slam the door !

Thanks

Yes the hole could be filled I think that's something I was going to look at.
