General: - Front bumper assembly fasters

Hi,

Just changed the condenser on my car and on trying to put the plastic fasteners, on the top, back in, they kind of disintegrated, so now the top is held “secure” with just one of those guys that decided not to gave up the ghost. Has anybody got any idea where to get them from?

Cheers!

How many fasteners are there? Do they surround the entire bumper?
I assume these "push in to splay out" type body rivets?
Obviously they'd have a specific depth and diameter.

There are 5 or 6 just above the radiator / AC condenser. The rest of the front assembly is bolted to the front cross member and two slide fasteners in the 2 wheel arches.

These desintegrate on all S60. Some S80 had much better pins, ask Volvo for those (or look at the breakers)

I got mine off ebay for a couple of quid, fit well and do the job.
