Volvo Repair: 2001 Volvo XC Gas hatch hinge replacement, volvo xc, punch punch


Question
I purchased the replacement hinge at eeuroparts.com. I need instructions on how to remove the old and install the new. Where can I get the instructions.

Answer
Francis, no need for instructions.  Just follow these steps.  With a small punch, punch in the 4 securing tabs into the car.  no with a small screwdriver, remove the broken piece.  Break off the new tabs and open up the holes on the new hinge.  now put the tabs back in the hole but do not push them through.  Snap the hinge onto the gas door.  Now carefully line the holes up and push it firmly while pushing the pins flush.  Hope this helped.  Roger
