Thanks so much Geoff! I recently had water splashing down on my feet while accelerating in my sloshing Volvo s70 T5 and this is the only mention I've found of it. I'm eager to give this a go!
The sunroof is one of the things on the 850s (next to the infamous tailgate trim) that feel like an afterthought. I think I replaced about 4 sets of clips on the tailgate cover and the sunroof broke a second time on me. Compared to the otherwise sturdy interior.... Quite irritating. But still great cars. I will keep mine for as long as I can
Any idea if the sunroof drains are similar on a 740? 2 tubes in the front 2 tubes coming out the back? I’m going to poke through the tubes with a light gauge bass guitar string and see if there’s any blockages haha
@scrambaba yes u need the filter and plastic bracket though not just a filter.. I had a 97 850 and got the bracket out of a 98... have one spare left I just found in the parts pile the other day ;)
Probably the best drain tube unblocking video on the internet!
ha ha yes, this makes me happy!
Lovely job Geoff! Strange looking scuttle panels i've never seen them before, the gold goes well with the red, very appropriate for this time of year

I have a s70 housing you can use to add a cabin air filter for you bub

So the fuse box is sitting on top of the cabin air filter?
850 - no cabin air filter !!!
@@pfunctional I thought they either came with them or they could be added.
