If there is no screws, you will have to drill out the rivets! Make sure that the replacement door handle you get takes screws!

Those handles are notorious for breaking. Nice bit of quality Volvo design! I think my car has probably had 5 or 6 throughout its lifespan. One in particular lasted only 18 months. Pathetic!

cheers
