Unhappy Where can I get the Rear Wing clips???

My daughter got home the other day and I noticed that her rear wing looked like it was coming off. I gave it a little tug and sure enough it was VERY LOOSE. I noticed that it has some clips or brackets that grab the trunk lid and screw into the wing. So I removed the clip and tried to bend it so it would be tighter and discovered that they are pretty weak. It's like they are starting to rust so they are not holding well.

Besides all that, I went to the stealer in my area and they told me that I would have to order the entire wing to get those clips/brackets. Not gonna happen.

Before I go and have some CUSTOM MADE, does anyone know where to get these?

Wow! My stealer said the kit is $48. I think they are higher than everyone else. I'm going to check on it in Charlotte. My stealer sucks. He should have told me about the kit.

Well, I noticed that the wing looked out of place so I checked to see if it would move and it did. Maybe I need to put some tape on this one before it falls off???

Well, I got the kit from the Stealer in Charlotte, NC. University Volvo. Those guys seem to be really helpful. The kit there was only $31. I guess my stealer is high because they think we have no other option. They were going to charge me 50% more for the part. So, I purchased several parts from the out of town guys. I'll likely order stuff from them and pay the shipping. Better than getting jacked by my stealer.

So the clips were in the kit?
If so can you post the part#?

I may need the clips soon myself.

Cool, I get it. The old clips seems to have been rubber coated but the new ones are not. No big deal, I think the main hold is the tape.
