Convertible hard top warnings
Beware the cables! Those thin ropes that help everything move, can break! If they do, you might be in big trouble: the one on the passenger side broke and it took me months to find a replacement (Volvo does not make THAT one, anymore!!).
Check them for wear, missing guides and if the cables are fraying, lubricate them with wax or hand soap - maybe silicon, but I'm not sure of the effects of silicon on those artificial fibers.
If you're missing the guides, look for them at the ends of the cables, and snap them back into place. Then check them right away, after moving the top up & down to see if those guides popped out again.

Cords to find
Hi,
Try your Volvo dealer first. If they don't have it, try E-bay, and then, start looking at other Volvo parts sellers (usually they're dealers, too) in finding the cable.
Good Luck! Expect to pay about from $225 to $350 for it.
For installation, ask the Volvo dealers if they have REAL experience in stalling the cord. Shop around for the most experienced installer.

Cable has broken at the driver side most front connection site where it almost looks like three pieces converge. Assuming that I need the #12 piece in the Ebay listings.
Tedders looks like your cost estimate is right on the nose as either piece costs the same.
Any idea how much time a Volvo dealer would use as standard?

Would like to know as much as possible so I can talk intelligently with installer/repair guy.
Parts and Part numbers, schematics showing routing and tie down points etc.
Thanks for any help and info.

Tricky stuff
As for a list of cables, they're out there. Try searching on the parts diagrams for them. I've seen them; just don't have the pages saved.

Try these sites; it's a start:
https://usparts.volvocars.com/a/Volv...GR-379336.html
...And my bad: Volvo calls these things "ropes".
But yet, sometimes "cable" :
