Wanted - Pollen filter parts

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

I added one on my 480 several years ago (long since been sold), and if you want my opinion, it wasn't very effective. When it was cold and damp outside, because of where it was situated, the pollen filter would get damp and not allow air through it properly, making it even harder to demist the front window properly.

I found a better solution was to get some very fine mesh (an old pair of my girlfriend's tights!), and stretch that over the opening. This stopped small bits of debris from getting into the air vents and then blown into the car, but didn't suffer when it was cold and damp.
