SUCCESS!!!!
DASH TABS BETTER THAN NEW IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS. AS LONG AS METAL PIPE STRAPPING IS STRONGER THAN 10 YEAR OLD PLASTIC.

USED TECH'S ADVICE ON THIS. I FOLLOWED ALONG AS MUCH AS COULD. LESS THAN 35 BUCKS FOR PARTS[8D]. IT IS 45 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND MY DASH SQUEEK FREE.

WITHOUT ADVICE I FOUND ON THIS SITE I AM NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE ATTEMPTED SUCH AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT. NO PICTURES ON THIS AS I THOUGHT A MAJOR DISASTER WAS SURE TO UNFOLD. DIDN'T WANT ANY "PROOF". GETTING THE STEERING WHEEL OFF WAS CAKE, FIXING TABS WITH 5 MIN. EPOXY AND METAL STRAPPING WAS CAKE. THE HARDEST PART WAS KEEPING ALL FASTENERS GOING TO THE RIGHT SPOTS ON REASSEMBLY. OH, AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION AFTER EVERYTHING WENT BACK TOGETHER. BACK TO THE INTERNET AND BINGO THE SHIFT OVERRIDE BUTTON HAD NOT FULLY DEPRESSED, A SHARP AWL, A QUICK JERK AND OUT CAME THE KEY.

VOLVO GETS THE CAR EVERY 10,000 MILES, BUT THIS FIX NEEDED A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION. MOST CARS I WOULD BE CUSS'N AT FOR THE WASTED DAY, BUT NOT THIS ONE. I SPENT A LITTLE QUALITY TIME WITH HER TODAY. MAKE YOU ENJOY "QUIET" TIMES WITH YOUR S70 A LITTLE MORE, AS I DON'T HAVE TO "JAM" ALL THE TIME TO AVOID HEARING THE CHATTER IN THE DASH.
