I've got a loose front mud guard on my 98 S70, and I could use some
advice on repairing it. The plastic guard has torn away from two of
the pop rivets that secure it. Is this something I can fix myself if I
buy the right Volvo fasteners?

Other than the rivets, all you need is a drill to remove the remnants of
what's there and a pop rivet tool.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.

Its up to you what you use, but I like to use speed nuts and metal self
tapper (though it is superfluous) with a spring steel washer under the head,
so I can remove it when ever with out having to drill.

Upon closer inspection, it looks as though the lower mudguard rivets
hold the S70 side trim on as well. What I don't understand is how to
get the interior remnants of the rivets out if I drill them out. What
will keep them from rattling inside the car?

They'll just drop out. If not, remove and refit and then they'll drop out.
