my interior tailgate parts are a mess. the repair kit and my own jerry-rig have not worked.

any recs on where to get replacement parts? i've googled and found volvopartswebstore.com. thx.

 

I have an unused (new in bag) IPD tailgate repair kit - it has flat shims, plastic inserts, screws) - see https://www.ipdusa.com/products/4807...nel-repair-kit

Let me know if interested.

 

Read above. Tailgate is too far gone for repair kit.

 

you should be able to find plenty of used interior tailgate parts - search for parts cars on Craigslist or nearby yards via car-parts.com Most 850s go to the yard due to things like blown heads etc or front end collisions...
