Hi there - Bought a used 1997 Volvo S90 a few months ago and have three minor problems:

1. The driver's-side exterior door handle is broken. The door unlocks, but the handle latch doesn't open the door. The inside lever seems to be broken. Interior door handle works fine.

2. The fuel door hinge is broken. It appears to be the plastic part, or perhaps it is the metal hinge the has snapped.

3. Antenna doesn't go up (or down). It never extends. Perhaps the motor is broken?

I'd like to try and fix these myself. Does anyone know where I should go to get parts? Are these difficult things to fix? Any advice, info, would be great.

Thanks!

Andrew

 

1. You need a new outside handle. Once you buy a new one it is unpainted but you can switch the part to your painted one.

2.A new hinge will fix it.

3.Most likely the mast broke. The plastic guide usually breaks. If you can move the mast up and down with your hand the guide is broke. You will need a new mast. But you will have to remove the motor and open up the one cover to remove the old broken pieces.
