#122 of 131 Re: Water leaks into '09 C70 [ocelittle] by mlubin May 27, 2009 (8:16 am)
Replying to: ocelittle (May 26, 2009 10:06 am) Is yours a 2009? The dealer has had the car for three weeks, had the trunk completely apart, ordered new tubes to replaced crimped ones, and is waiting for the Volvo tech guy to review the repair. I haven't had seat and carpet issues as far as I know, but I guess time will tell. Replies to this message: ocelittle (May 27, 2009 8:29 am)

Replying to: mlubin (May 27, 2009 8:16 am) no, mine is a 1999 - maybe the first year they came out, not sure. No one seems to know the cause of the trunk water. I said it had been to 2 dealers, and now I realize it has been to three dealers - each of whom have proclaim the problem solved. it does get old. Please let me know if you find a solution. I haven't given up yet. And about the seat and carpet issues - you'll know it if it happens, it's not subtle.
#124 of 131 Roof Liner (fabri) - Passenger Side Panel by rick146 Jul 14, 2009 (9:43 am)
When closing the top, the passenger side (roof liner - fabric) panel is not releasing freeling through the guide eyelet causing the fabric to snag and not seat properly. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks.   This is a 2007 C70. Replies to this message: redbuzz (Aug 08, 2009 7:01 pm)
#125 of 131 Replacing 2001 C70 top by tpkidd3 Aug 07, 2009 (9:30 am)
I have tried many fixes to reattach the glass window, all fail. I am now considering just replacing the whole top. I've replaced other tops, is this one any more of a pain in the $$ than a typical convertible top replacement?

Replying to: rick146 (Jul 14, 2009 9:43 am) I didn't have that problem, exactly. One of the fabric cables became detached at one end and the headliner was a little loose. Not a big problem - the dealer was able to fix it under warranty. The other problem I had was the rearmost corner of the headliner on the passenger side would sometime twist 180 degrees when closing. It is under a good amount of tension when the roof is fully closed and even though it was fixed over a year ago, the fabric is still wrinkled a bit from when it wasn't working right.   Whatever the issue is with your car, the dealer should be able to make it right.

Replying to: mlubin (May 13, 2009 8:14 am) I had same problem and it was because the seal around the boot area (space the top occupies when down) had a small section that was not completely attached and water would enter. I also had problems with the drains which they claim were clogged....not sure how this would happen since the boot area is always very clean, but were cleaned anyway...don't know if drains really were cleaned since I know longer have water entering the boot area. :o)
#128 of 131 Moss growing on hood by kabooney Aug 25, 2009 (1:41 am)
HELP! Moss is growing on the hood of my 2004 C70 convertible. I've cleaned it with autoglym and used the roof protector but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Can someone please advise??
#129 of 131 Buying new top by julie911 Sep 20, 2009 (5:00 am)
My glass seal has finally completely failed. I've tried everything--but I need a new top. I wonder if anyone else has ordered a new top that is sewn in or has a gasket. BMW and Mercedes both have tops that are not "glued"--this is such a silly design flaw!! Sure would like to know if I can replace it with a different type?
#130 of 131 2000 C70 Convertible Top Rear Window Repair by warwar Oct 01, 2009 (8:48 am)
I know this is a familiar topic and that either gluing the window back ourself or replacing the top are the general alternatives. My question is, what adhesive is recommended if you attempt to do it yourself?
#131 of 131 2004 C70 Replacement top by ruby61 Oct 17, 2009 (9:02 am)
Does anyone have a good resource/vendor to purchase a new top from, I have tried the gluing thing and it just doesn't hold up in the Florida sun?
