Risk Part: Fuel System

Bracket alignment uses small black pins which break very easily. As careful as I was, I broke two and saved one of them. The mount stays and works as it should, but I have a feeling it's going to break because it's not fully supported.

Pros
  • Very inexpensive
Cons
  • Not sure

End caps not working

As another person said, pressing the end caps holding an item to the machine breaks one by one. I even smeared them with dish soap at first based on comments from other customers. Therefore you will need to install your own screws to hold the holder to your vehicle. Hence one star for understandable reasons.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Volvo design flaw but cheap and easy replacement

Only lasted a few months. This spring-loaded hinge is under constant pressure, so even the best will break over time. Easy Pin Replacement - Use an ultra-thin punch to push the pins through the old plate and insert the pins flush when replacing. Simple but annoying when you have to do it a lot.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Good, but be careful!

Item worked well but be careful. The pins that attach it to the car are just extruded plastic and you have to hammer them in with a small hammer and large pick or something. I broke one trying to install and had to find my own way to replace the pin. The door dangles a bit when opening as this hinge is only plastic. I don't know if they make anything stronger.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Crumpled

Spring is ON. Technology is required.

Yes, the feather is INCLUDED even if it is not shown! A technician is definitely required after installing 2 pieces in a row. You MUST drive the pins in a bit before attempting to install them as they will break off or fly out during the ride. I used a really big security torx screwdriver to drive in the pin, which encased the pin and prevented breakage, and then finished with a drift. They have both been in use for 3 months and still work and are made from nice soft plastic. When installing in

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say

Good OEM Replica - Fuel Tanks and Accessories

This is a good OEM replica that replaced my original. There are some videos on youtube to help you replace this on your car. A small caveat. The small struts that you have to press into the holes in the body to spread the fasteners are a bit fragile. I broke 2 out of 4 during installation. If this happens to you, do the following -1. Find the plastic stake that is now lying somewhere on the ground. 2. Use a razor blade to snip off the last 2mm of one end to make it easier to reinsert into the…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Fair

A piece of cheap junk plastic and those are good things to say.

I have owned a Volvo for many years (20+) and this is a common mistake for everyone after a few years. I have always bought from Volvo in the past and the installation is easy and it works great. This time I didn't have time to go to the dealer so I decided to buy this one. What junk. It seems that everything went well, but the tabs holding it to the car fell off immediately and just broke during installation. The plastic it's made of is significantly more fragile than the branded Volvo…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive

Thought it would be a 5 minute fix. NOT CORRECT .

Thought it would be a 5 minute fix. NOT RIGHT! I compared the plastic used in an original Volvo part that I removed from the car and this piece of junk. If you just look at them side by side you won't notice the difference. The plastic "fingers" inserted into the housing are significantly stiffer than the original part. I installed the item. I made sure it lined up perfectly with the body before inserting the pins. It is very important when inserting the pins that the "fingers" expand enough to

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
