Tried doing a search on the site but I couldn't find any info regarding this.
I'm getting some rust bubbling buildup on my 2004 S60 R on the windshield trim moulding right at the front near the connection of the hood. So right at the windsheild wiper/firewall area. I've actually consulted a Volvo tech at the dealership and he said that the trim is purely cosmetic and won't affect the windshield at all. Although it's cosmetic, I'd like to get rid of the rust as it's sort of an eyesore. He quoted me about $700 USD for the trim alone not including the repaint cost.
Anyway, I was wondering if I could simply just remove the trim, sand it down, fill whatever I would need and repaint the trim again.
Any ideas on how to remove this piece and if you are experiencing the same thing with your cars? ?
