    sunroof

    Do you mean when you use the switch just like how you retract the shade one more time (after the shade has fully retracted), the sunroof glass won't move?

    DIY short cargo cover

    Thank you. Well, yes, the manual stitching bit took longer and was not as easy as I had thought. I've done manual stitching for much smaller pieces before, but not through cardstock + that leather-like material. I've decided long ago that I don't have the right infrastructure and resource to...

    Considering buying XC90 - Question about kids back seat entry/exit hazzard due to protruding plastic

    My personal experience is that the height and location of that piece won't be in the path of any foot performing the necessary step to get out. For that left side door, the passenger's left foot will be closest to the piece, but stepping out with the left first will clear that piece. The...

    Hello from Cincinnati, OH

    Welcome. As for takeoff wheels; you might be better off finding a local trade. I imagine shipping cost can negate the price savings.

    How is the perforated sunroof cover during mid summer day?

    My headliner is the beige one, yes. My assumption is that the fabric mesh density is the same, regardless of the color. In that sense, I expect the same amount of light passing through the gap between the fabric mesh. Fabric color affects the absorption and reflection of heat, but I'm not sure...

    How is the perforated sunroof cover during mid summer day?

    The perforation on my MY2018's shade isn't quite as "perforated" as ones manufacturers use for side mirrors and rear windshields. They are a bit more opaque, although at high noon, you can tell where the sun is if you look up the closed shade. I don't think it ever felt insufficient when you...

    Auto sunroof closing

    Modern vehicles are too complicated for those that don't use it everyday to remember. I imagine they have periodic training, but that doesn't guarantee that they will be as familiar with everything a user might ask.

    Gracenote artwork missing

    I wondered as well. I've seen the cover art appear on the center screen, but not always. And it appears that the choice of image isn't always the same as what my phone would have displayed when playing the same music. It may be because the search routine doesn't always fully identify the music...

    DIY short cargo cover

    It took about 3 days of manual stitching... The panel covers the cargo area when the 3rd row is in use like so:

    DIY short cargo cover

    Transfer the shape onto a faux leather sheet, and keeping the cardboard prototype as the rigid material. I pre-punched stitching holes on the cardboard where needed to make stitching easier and more consistent. Clamp the sheet onto the panel to keep them in place while stitching them together.

    DIY short cargo cover

    The center portion of the fore side of the panel folds down like so: The reason for that is in case someone looks into the vehicle from the window, using a flashlight for example, it is harder to see if there's anything in the cargo area when that fold is made:

    DIY short cargo cover

    Then, the panel is straightened out so that the left edge rests on the other shoulder. To prevent the panel from sagging, especially with the presence of the longitudinal fold line, 2 lateral fold lines are added, and when they curl back, it prevents the panel from folding along the longitudinal...

    DIY short cargo cover

    Because the front side is wider, I added one longitudinal fold line. Here's how the fold line allows the panel to fit through the hatchback opening, and letting the right side of the panel catch the right shoulder of the interior:

    DIY short cargo cover

    I wanted to have a cargo cover for when the 3rd row is in use. As we all know, the OE cargo cover is designed for when the 3rd row is in use. I wanted something that is flat enough to stow under the floormat. The idea is to use the "shoulders" on the sides of the interior right behind the 3rd...

    Which Volvo XC90 color did you order?

    I wonder how many people will choose Denim Blue if the list is updated.

    Disabling Stop/Start By Default?

    Interesting, but risky. If it did affect the stop/start, I wonder what else it affected?

    Things they don't tell you, but you need to know!

    Thanks for sharing that. I tried the button inside the vehicle. Magical.

    Matching dead pedal for R-design brake & throttle pedals: DIY

    Finally, I decided to mount the dead pedal on the all weather floor liner instead on the OE dead pedal. That way, I don't need to cut the liner's tall lip that is useful in containing spills. Also, it means that the dead pedal will be removed every time I need to clean the liner. I affixed the...
