Howdy fellow Volvo owners:

I am new to the forum.
I am looking for assistance on how to remove the door panel on my 2011 C70 T5 volvo.

Much appreciate the help
Thanks
Aron

If it is same as pre facelift 2007 you prize the inner piece out of the back of the handle from the top. Now you prize the door handle itself out gently working around the edge from the top. Unlock the electric windows switch. Inside the opening are 3 torx screws which need undoing. Then work your way around the edge of the panel prizing towards you as it is held on with 10 or 12 clips. At the top near the mirror you need to remove the speaker cowl by squeezing it and popping it off. The panel is clipped along the window edge and needs pulling towards you. Disconnect the door handle which connects like a barrel end on a bike brake cable. Access furthur into the door requires removal of a steel plate which has 6 or 8 bolts holding it on plus other electrical connectors.

Mmm. I was thinking about fitting puddle lights flush into the bottoms of the doors on my C70, but I don’t think I’ll bother now!

Thanks Ratfink. How do I know if it is "pre facelift 2007"?

Yours is post facelift on 2011 mine is pre as they changed 2008 mine being 2007 but I think the door cards won't have changed in the way they fit.
