Even works on the 2008 S40! The only difference is they used screws for the window holder and of course the actuator is completely different. ONLY LOOSEN, do not remove the screws completely on the window. It's a clamping system. I used 1.5 turns and it was enough to get the window loose. The actuator was riveted in and I decided to leave it be for now. Darn thing is perfectly happy to lock, but unlocking with the physical key doesn't work anymore and unfortunately the issue is somewhere within the actuator. Wouldn't have been an issue if the keyfob still worked.

Thank you for this video. I had all of my door lock actuators replaced under the recall in 2021. The front passenger door will not latch closed when you close the door. I replaced that actuator thanks to your video but I still have the same problem. The door will not latch. Could there be an electrical issue? Not sure what to do next.

Thank you... Great job for pretty much showing us what I've been looking for: how to remove that plastic housing that hold the window (and everything else) and what's behind it... BUT missed showing us (like you said you would 🤔) on replacing the window.... getting those clips back in those window holes) except to warn us on how 'fidgety' it may be....... tho you made is sound simple enough "when you 'pop' the window back.... also I am a tad freaked, now that I've actually seen the inside (behind the plastic curtain) My issue for dismantling the door is to try to 'hammer' out a bit of a sideswipe dent now that looks like there's some more plastic covering the inner part of the skin (with 3 diagonal ribs) I'm hoping that some wood over them with maybe enough to return the shape a bit any way..

Well done! God damn Volvo Engineers are bad, hahaha! Very common fault as well, cant lock the doors as any other car brand without it working, due to non-manual locking mechanism. 600 euro to fix their joke design per door. It will keep me away from the brand for life for sure 😂

This Guide is so great! Cannot thank you enough! Did the doorlock exchange in like one hour. The only thing I struggled a bit was getting the window out (one of the push tabs was resisting me). Also this part was not 100% clear in the video. All other steps worked perfectly and it was so easy when you know what you re doing. Makes you think if Volvo makes it complicated on purpose.... Thanks so much again! Greetings from Germany!

Hi Todd, i had my volvo C70 painted, and after the paint, I noticed that the RFID for the passenger's door does not function. Meaning, if the doors are locked, and I approach the passenger's door with my key (NFC) and i try to open, it does not respond. It works fine from driver's door, but with Passenger's Door, i have to use the remote to unlock my car. The NFC/RFID function works fine even with trunk. I went back to the body shop and I asked if they've done something that I can perhaps reverse to get this important function working, but I guess they were afraid and they denied doing anything with the lock mechanism. I once took my car to the dealership, they wanted US$350 for it. Now, the dealership has changed. I just turned my car in for service, and I asked them to check this out. From your experience, would you give any hints as to what is causing this?

Fixed my V60 with above video. Great but also watch how to dismantle and refit your door handle below in the comments as I didn't do that until I got stuck for 1 hour! Just be aware that some Volvo models like mine have glued on tabs on the window instead of a window with cut outs and that's a pain to get in and out and you have to restraighten the rubber seals after refitting window.

Other than that, I couldn’t manage to get the window out but in order to replace my speakers and so whatever else you have to do there other that actually replacing the window it self, you can just loosen it and then tape it using any strong tape to the top frame/edge of the door it self, you simply just like hang it over and have the tape taped to each side of the windowglass over the door, hanging. That worked for me hope it helps
