What part number do you have for the fronts? The stealership here will not allow you to order parts prior to paying for them. Now they are telling me that if I order them, they will not take them back if they are to big. So I will loose my $43 or $48 just for 1.

Alright man, here's what we will do....just forget about your stealer all together! They sound like a bad bunch to begin with. I will call the guy I order from at our place here in Orlando. I will order a set and pay for. If they work out then I can foreward to you. You just paypal me and no sweat or stress. If you dont want them I will sell them to someone else whom might need them for what I own them....Man, that place you goto sucks in customer service...but what goes around comes around..

Sounds like a good plan to me. If they are under 15" i'll take em. Paypal or whatever works for you. If they are to long, 16" or longer, I'm sure they will refund you at your stealer. They did for me, even though they are STILL ON MY CAR. They usually will not refund electrical parts that you installed. They should give you a refund if you don't take them and destroy them.

See, now I'm getting a little worried. I was trying to pic a spat with a young guy on the freeway yesterday and he passed on the challenge. But now I'm kinda glad he did, if we would have taken off I may have left the road with the WINGS I have behind my wheels. LOL

Ok, I don't think my flaps will drag the ground anymore. I just cut about 1-1/2 inches off of them with my Roto Zip. :-).

That should hold me until I get the right size flaps.

Lol, that's one way to make them fit! I ordered your flaps today, they will let me know when they come in. I explained what happened to the parts guy and he also seems to think that an "Idiot" at your Stealership ordered the wrong ones. I will measure them there at the store before taking delivery to make sure they are the shorter ones.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to hearing what size they have. I am afraid that my stealership does not like to admit their mistake. It really isn't any big deal, just get the right ones in. My goodness, I have 3 older Volvo's. They should look at me as a little gold mine.

You would think... But it takes one "bad seed" in a crowd to ruin it for the rest of us.. I guess theres one in every stealership! Hopefully they will be the right size!

Ok, to go on the "record" I love the "Stealer here in town! The order was apparently written on paper, but was never entered on the computer system. Guess they forgot but they called me this afternoon appologizing. The mudguards will be in this Friday. rspi, I will PM you if they do meaure out right and I have them in my possesion so I can give you my PayPal Account and also to get your address for shipping.... I think even with shipping to you, will still be cheaper than what you paid from your "Stealer"!

Man, I went there today and was let down again. My S70 needs the end brackets that hold the rear wing on and they said I have to purchase a new wing just to get those rubber coated metal brackets that hold the wing to the trunk lid. This place is insane!!! I will likely double check our salvage yard for a set or have to get them custom made. This is driving me nuts.

Thanks! Let me know. The part # Tech gave me may be it. My stealer wants $48 for it and if the part is not correct, they will not take it back.

Ok, I picked up your flaps today from the stealer! I can have them out to you tomorrow afternoon if you want them! it is a kit of 2 mudflaps. They are the exact same I have on my 850. I made sure before I took delivery and even had one of the parts guys come out to my 850 and compare!
