Yeaah... i didn't say it in order to not hurt some feelings but it's true... it's not a good fit.

but bottom line... it works! that's the most important thing

I can't complain about mine, maybe they are more noticeable on a lighter coloured car. 🤔

Picked up and fitted a set to mine today. The offside fit is pretty much perfect, as per Bobby's picture above. The nearside has an obvious 5-6mm gap. Maybe some more fettling is required.

Did anyone else find the three plastic 10mm nuts to be a loose fit when screwing back in place? Mine never seemed to tighten up. Tempted to replace them with some decent nuts...

All mine was ok except one which wouldn't tighten back up..

All mine tighten up ok, finger tight only though. 👍

I found the same - some nuts are loose and won’t tighten. And the near side gap is much larger than offside despite trying multiple times to fit it.

Milky74 · Jan 19th, 2020, 08:29

Yep, mine are exactly the same, with gap on one side, and one the nuts was loose. But work all the same.

My loan Xc60 does not have them and drove to Grantham yesterday and back ad the side doors are filthy. Plus side my wife is looking at coming back to Volvo from her Evoque.

Mine are the same Steve. Offside perfect fit first time, but near side don’t fit half as well, despite “messing about with them” as my lovely wife calls it for about half an hour.

I have to agree with others, the n/s doesn't fit so well as o/s. Not that noticeable,
but it can't be adjusted, perhaps the wheel arch liner is thicker, that would make the difference.
