Another breakers visit so took a few minutes to review the various seats and Volvo used from 2001-2009 on the S60, V70, XC90, etc.. These would be the leather ones, I'm in North America and most of the cars came with leather interior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGl0YHTG4x4

Good to work on something now and then, so going to install these aluminum door trims. Also got a pair or rear tweeters from an XC70, I'll try to fit them along the front door main speaker

easy on mine they had unbonded mostly,i just undid the one bolt,then used a small chisel blunt one ,spread the lower section from top piece and pulled down,put bolt back in top piece to keep hole lined up then junior hacksaw most of it but not too deep to hit roll bar just the rubber then put a screwdriver between rollbar and rubber and twisted to break last bit of rubber,used hacksaw to cut a slice into the flat part of new rubber slipped it on then used a bottle jack to push up a gentle tap with a hammer to get the bottem lugs into top piece then the bolt did the rest,not that hard to do

Today !!! Oil change & Filter , simple job ! NO !! the sump plug is so tight and slightly rounded no chance, the last service was by Volvo before I bought the car ! Now have to order a suction pump and empty oil via the dipstick, so gave up on the simple job and now onto the front and rear mounts .
