Does anyone know what the volvo plastic composition is of the various
door pockets and heated switch holder that shatter so easily in our cars. I have a pile of shattered plastic to use, but want to know what type of filler rod to obtain. I just plastic welded a bunch of stuff on a scooter and its not that hard to do well. The fender shown had a large missing chunk , 1''x2'' welded in with numerous cracks and that was step one. Smoothing and sanding follows.
What doe one use for filler in the dash cracks? The dash pad seems to be of a different composition, a foam covered in perhaps a vinyl plastic?
Much of the interior body paneling is ABS plastic and can be repaired with moderate heat
I repaired a broken door/map pocket with expoxy and giftcard bits. I reinforced the top of the pocket with a length of coat hanger wire, it fit nicely into the groove. A solid repair going on 6 years
I just cut up old gift cards or dunkin donuts cards into the right size or shape and then epoxied them into place as a patch behind the crack. I don't have any pictures to share, but it works very will on the hard plastic trim.
