Dirt getting inside rear door inside archs
Has anybody resolved the problem with mud and dirt accumulation inside the rear door arch’s?

I just make sure to wash it down once in a while. Annoying though.

This is the thread: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...ight=rear+door
I had the genuine Volvo ones fitted at the last service and they work great.

Thanks for the advice. I’m new to the forum so couldn’t find threads, I’ll hopefully get better. This is definitely an issue that Volvo should address on new vehicles. Mine is a brand new car with only 4500km on the clock so it’s a new issue for me. Only my second “personal” wash of the car and first use of the back of the car last week. The dealer here can look forward to correcting this fault, they’ve already changed the nappa leather on one of the front seats. Hope this is not the start of issues.

It's not a fault but rather a poor design from Volvo. As EssexExile says there is a part available to prevent it happening.

not a problem to me.maybe because I'm from an almost entire year sunny country and i don't go to the countryside. Mainly, I would say, 90/95% of the times, my XC60 drives around cities and urban areas and a lot of highways 🛣.

I'm surprised that Volvo haven't acknowledge this issue and fit the guards as standard practice. Not fitted to my XC60 built in February 21
Perhaps margins are so tight that they rely on the extra £19 income this brings |

A bean counter will have calculated that it is cheaper to wait for the relatively few to complain and then retro-fit them, rather than fiit them as standard to all XC60s.

Retro fitted XC60 rear door dirt seals
Pleased to say the seals fitted have cured my problem, still don’t understand that they were only fitted when I complained. Should be factory fitted before delivery on cars of this standard.
