V70 Door Removal and Refitting

V70P3Zone · Jan 16th, 2023, 01:42

I've damaged both passenger doors on my 2008 V70 (don't ask!

. And I think it's going to be cheaper to replace both doors with second hand ones in the same colour.

Has anybody removed and refitted these doors? Is it a job I can do on my own?

I've looked at the Haynes manual, which talks about needing a special Volvo tool (9501080) to adjust the door hinges when refitting. It advises to go to a Volvo dealer to get the alignment done- is this necessary?

Any tips would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Well happily I can answer my own question.

Whilst looking at another video mentioned in a post on here on the excellent Youtube volvosweden channel, I noticed this video;

Repairing Door hinges and electrical connector between door and body. Must check on Volvo P3

And he shows how to remove and refit one of the front doors!

Hope that helps someone.
