  1. The plastic protection part where my seat belt comes out of the side column
    broke. Anybody know where I might order one?

  4. Well, at least which century it comes from ;-)

    It might also help to know which market area it is: North or South America,
    Europe, Australia / NZ, Asia.... Sometimes that makes a difference.

    Hello:

    As your car is still quite new as far as a Volvo goes, the best place
    to get the part in question will be your local dealer--or at a pick-n
    -pull if you have the time and can stand wading through snow in the
    Rochester area...but the nearest one I know to you is in Auburn NY.

    It still amazes me when I see friends driving 50 miles each way to the
    Pick-N-Pull in Auburn to get an inexpensive part--and they never know
    in advance if the part is actually there, are charged $2 just to enter
    the yard--and that is not refundable even if they find the part they
    need.

    I call the parts guy I know at the dealer and if it's not in stock
    they order it and I have it in 1 to 3 days at a fair price--and
    without driving 100 miles.

    Am I frugal? Yes! Will I spend hours driving and the fuel to go get a
    $10 used part when I can get a new one from the dealer for nearly the
    same price? Absolutely not!

    I could use a new latch assembly for one of my wagons and it's nearly
    $100 from the dealer. For that I'll wait until Spring and find one at
    a yard or buy it on Ebay if I have time.

    Good Luck
