V70 Handles On A 850 - Not Fitting.

Perfect!

With the wagon, it's easy to use the tailgate lock for access. Last Friday, I left my parking/fogs on all day at work, and the battery was completely flat when I went to leave, so I had to do exactly that.

I have cables hooked to the battery with alligator clamps hidden in the bumper so I can hook to another battery without lifting the hood. And I have figured out how to crawl in the trunk, push the center armrest down, reach in and pull the latch on the driver rear seat, push the seat down and unlock the door. I had to do that twice before I decided to put the hidden switch in.

Ha! Brilliant.

Nice! They really look much better than the chalky 850 handles. Just make sure you figure something out for the locks in case keyfob and/or battery die. You think it won't happen, but it will, at the worst possible time.

Not a problem, I am a wagon and have the hatch key.

Adam, you could always make some kind of release for the rear/sedan seats from the trunk area so that if you ever did have battery failure you can still get in...

once up at school all of my doors were frozen shut except for the trunk/tailgate... it had to be extremely funny for people watching me make Carly climb through hahaha

I think pin stripe removal and x70 handles on your yellow would be SICK!
