Water leak rear roof area

iain cooper · Feb 11th, 2020, 15:29

I'm getting water dripping from the roof area just above the rear boot door.

I'm thinking that it may be coming in via the GPS fin on the roof ?

I need to remove the internal roof panels at the rear to investigate the source.

Can anyone guide me re removing these panels ?

Thanks

Iain

Ps. Thoughts and comments appreciated.

Had a closer look and the plastic roof panels at the rear are fastened by clips to the roof.

Don't want to force as they would most likely break.

Any ideas ?

No idea how to remove trim panels but have noticed when in my dealership that they sub contract a lot of work to local independent companies i.e trim removal/repairs, smart paint repairs, windscreen re-bonding etc.

So if can find out who your dealer uses you could contact them direct and save on Volvo rates.

Just order spare clips, sometimes they break, sometimes not, other times can just weaken , so tis normally best to buy some more and use them when final refit, get a trim removal kit, PS, just trim removal, i am fairly sure main dealers do that themselves as long as there is no other work, ie, PDR, Smart Repair etc no way would they pay someone to come in just to yank a panel off

As for the leak, very unusual unless you have a communications fin up there?

I usually refer to these instructions when doing interior stuff as it covers pretty much a full strip-down:
