Hello, all. I know there are multiple threads on fallen C70 headliners, but I'm looking for some specific info on the anchor clips ( the pieces that get re-glued to the underside of the headliner) that I don't see addressed. There was a technical bulletin released by Volvo in March of 2015 that shows the specific clip orientation for the BACK headliner panel. On the back panel, 4 "thick" clips are attached along the back edge and 4 "thin" clips are attached along the front edge. The bulletin does not show the orientation of the clips on the FRONT headliner section. One kind responder on another forum repaired his front headliner placing the clips in the same configuration as the back - 4 thick clips along the back edge and 4 thin clips along the front edge. Then I received a message from a paid Volvo expert site that said that on both sections, the thick clips go to the ends of each edge with the thin clips in between. I know that expert is wrong about the back section, but not sure regarding the front section. Does anyone know, for certain, the orientation of thick and thin clips on the front headliner section? I know they are extremely difficult to move once JB Welded in place. Thank you! BTW - my C70 is a 2011.

 

I used the same configuration as the rear headliner, because when the headliner fell, the clips remained attached to the roof. Plus, I could tell where they were positioned originally based on the glue marks on the back of the clips and the headliner.

 

Interesting. I've had tech's tell me both ways. The thick ones in the back & the thin ones in the front. But then also the thick ones on the edge and the thin ones in the middle. The schematic spec page lists the thick ones in the back (part # 31256445) and the thinner ones in the front (part # 31256444), but it's not detailed enought to show middle vs edge. Both are $53 each. I'd sure like to know the answer.
