I spent a good 4 months scouting within the areas of where I work and live on Volvos - and I must say, that on average, every 9 out of 10 850s that I have inspected, were left with broken gloveboxes. By broken, i do not mean that they are stuck or cant be opened, but rather they are broken at the joints. Hehe. I wonder, were the previous owners really THAT brutal (slamming the lids and all) ??? Sheesh.
