Default Rear Bumper Removal

I noticed there was another question posted about the removal of the V40 bumper, and Gatos very kindly posted a copy of the VIDA instructions for the V40 rear bumper removal in .pdf format some time ago, unfortunately the .pdf seems to have disappeared. If anyone has it can they please post it here?

Thanks...

No full Vida instructions but most tow bar companies have a link to their fitting instructions which all require the removal of the bumper. I use the Towtrust site. This should cover your car. https://tow-trust.s3.amazonaws.com/i...ns/TVV519A.pdf

Didn't know VIDA had guides of things like this.

Can you make a thread with the most requested tutorials and just upload the .pdfs from VIDA? and then maybe stick the thread?

I have thought of that a few times, but I am not sure if it would allowed, since VIDA is a proprietary software belonging to Volvo. And even if that was an issue, then it is not as simplke as that, because some of the more complicated guides include links to other guides in order to get a job done.

As far as I am aware of, Volvo turns a blind eye when we post a guide here and there, but if there was a whole list of them in one post, it could be a bit of an issue

I see..., what about you gather all guides you and others have posted so far to a single thread? I think that would be really useful.
