  Q: How to remove and install the door lock cylinder on Volvo 780?

  A:

  For the greatest effectiveness and longest element life, keep the windshield and wiper blades clean as dirt, tree sap and road tar can cause streaking, smearing, and deterioration of the blades. Wash the windshield with a commercial glass cleaner at least once a month and wipe off the rubber blades with a wet rag. Windshield wipers should not be moved across the face of the windshield by hand because it can damage the motor and driving mechanism. To inspect or change the wiper blade elements, set the wiper switch to the setting indicating that the machine is in a low speed position and set the ignition switch to the ACC position, then set the ignition switch to the OFF position when the blades are approximately vertical. Examine the wiper blade elements for cracks, breaks or tears, and replace them, if necessary, immediately since replacement intervals vary depending on usage, but are generally limited to a one-year period in terms of ozone deterioration. If the wiper pattern is smeared or streaked or if the blade chatters replace the elements, preferably in pairs. Aftermarket blades might use different types of refills and there are several kinds of typical types. The Anco type has a release button to allow easy replacement of the refill, some Trico refills require a small screwdriver to release the refill from the retaining tab. Other Trico refills contain metal tabs that are unsealed by squeezing them together so the rubber filler can be withdrawn and replaced. Polycarbonate refills have a simple locking device for easy release and installation. For Tridon refills, remove wiper blade & twist to pull out the backing strip, make sure to replace with identical type. Always follow the part manufacturer's instructions carefully and make sure all the frame jaws are engaged during installation in order to prevent scratching the glass.
