Headlamp adjuster clip

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Headlamp adjuster clip

Post by Baxter » Sun Sep 03, 2023 12:38 pm

I have broken the adjuster white clips while I was refurbishing the headlamp.

I have read here that there are suiable parts from other manufacturers but I don't find the information nor the post.

On ebay and alliexpress are similar for VW but not the same, I'm unsure they will fit on the 480

Any clue?

Thanks

Thank you very much, that little thing is very important.
And happy to know that I can solve the problem avoiding a bodge.

I'm not a taliban about brands but it is true that german cars are not very beloved between swedish fans. But sometimes happen between volvos and saabs fans, there are no limits. :D
And more, it seems that volvo traditional fans hate the dutch volvos........they think they are not real volvos. :roll:
