Handbrake lever gaiter mounting

john493 · Dec 21st, 2023, 20:45

2006 V70

The plastic frame on my handbrake gaiter where it fits into the centre console is broken. Any ideas where I might find a replacement ? There are gaiters available but none include the plastic frame.

Or any other solutions to fix the gaiter in ?

Thanks

John

i sourced on from a breakers yard but im fairly sure that you could order from volvo ring dealers and ask for a price on the part

If you can put up some pics of your broken part we might have a better idea on how to fix it .
Failing that it might be worth looking on e-bay etc. to see if there is a second-hand one about .

Could you plastic weld it to save it?

I've glued it in place at it seems ok for now. Obviously not ideal as will need to remove it again for any handbrake adjustment.

I use Velcro so that it can be removed easily when adjustment is needed
