You're the best Robert. Your videos have made my life a LOT easier. Big thanks.

[@RobertDIY]

+Brent McGill you are welcome.

[@tamaraleroy3069]

Dear Robert, Thank you so much for your very practical and helpful video. I am a busy single mom, and so is my friend. Her window fell down into the door (thankfully without breaking) and together with the help of your video we were able to follow your clear instructions and put the window back into place and order the replacement part (the little plastic slidey-thingy broke.) We were able to do this in the driveway of my conservative community with beers and lots of laughs - a bonding experience rather than just another expense that none of us can afford. The time and effort you put into this really helped us out. It's winter in Oregon, and it's wet and she's got kiddos to drive around. Your extra little tips were super helpful too. Thanks again! So much gratitude.

[@RobertDIY]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching.

[@michaelbarnett2077]

Robert, thanks for this video! I have just had my back window smashed in so someone could help themselves to my stuff as well! With the help of your video it should make the replacement a whole lot easier! Cheers

[@RobertDIY]

+Michael Barnett ouch! Hope it was a door window. Remove the seats to get the glass out. Took me about a year to get it all. 😞

Hi Robert. Love your content. I have a 2000 V70 and I was wondering if when the Pilkington side window says "toughened" does that mean it's laminated and shatter resistant? Thanks for the help. Morgan

I have no idea.

[@DavidBruceAllen1]

Robert, You're my go to man when it comes to my older Volvo. Thank you for your videos. Here's my situation. The right rear window is stuck all the way down in my 1994 Volvo, 4 door sedan. The motor is working but it won't move it and we can't even lift up the window. It won't budge. Any ideas?

Dear Robert, Thank you for the video about Volvo repairs. I have a problem with rust on the tailgate of my 850 Wagon. The fragment is rusting just below the bottom edge of the glass - where this decorative strip is. I have to fix this but am wondering how to remove the hatch glass. Can you help me on this point? Thank you

[@RobertDIY]

You should remove that weather strip.

[@przemekcyganski3252]

@@RobertDIY I have already removed this strip and there is a lot of rust in its place. The sheet metal in this place is to be repaired and the tailgate is to be painted. To do it right, it seems to me that I have to take the glass off. Unless I am wrong and there is no such need.

[@josephinewestlund5213]

+Robert DIY Urgent question: Have to replace the motor driver side 97 - V70. Do I have to pop the glass out of the rail before loosening the 10 mm bots that holds the regulator arm and motor assembly? Will the widow just drop down when I pop the two clips for the guides? I cursed when I saw the actual motor bolts were attached from the inside (Why?) Hope to see an answer, thanks for the video..

[@RobertDIY]

+josephine westlund I think the motor is attached to the regulator. You can try to pull the motor to see if it will come out without anything else. Just support the window or tape it in the frame.

Robert I have a Volvo v70 2004. I was wondering if you could tell me if I can somehow put a piece of tinted plexiglass in it till I can afford the replacement which is $491 plus tax just for basic glass.

[@RobertDIY]

In what position?

[@pbinghamutube]

Hey! Do you have a video or suggestions on how to fix the rear passenger window on a 1999 v70r? The window rolled down and now will not roll back up. All other three windows work fine. Is it a bad switch? Neither the door switch or the drivers door switches work for that window. Thanks!!

[@RobertDIY]

Probably a bad switch. Pull the door panel and use a jump box to roll it back up then disconnect the motor until you fix the switch pack.

[@pbinghamutube]

@@RobertDIY hey thanks! Although not sure what a jump box is . I’ll do some more searching. Any other suggestions? Why wouldn’t the driver side switch and the rear window switches both not work? Seems like one should work.

[@jamie-ox8sg]

I'm having problems with my front driver window one of the tracks keeps pulling away from the glass the bit at the back of the window with the green thing in it and it pulls out of the frame tilting downward toward the front of the car

[@katherder4450]

Hey Robert, is there a way to disable the express down for drivers side window? I hate that and this morning my window came out of the track and is partially outside the window frame. Just want to get it back in and will order parts to fix proper later. Any help GREATLY appreciated. '97 850 GLT.

[@RobertDIY]

Bad rollers. They are about $3 each new. To avoid the auto down hold the button for longer than 1 second and it will stop where you let it go. I actually added the auto down to my front passenger side window.

[@katherder4450]

Thanks, Robert, I think that my window switch must be a little more sensitive than most. Man, all I got to do is touch it . I will replace the rollers and be satisfied. Thanks also for the door check video, I can fix both those issues at the same time.

[@joshuanickerson2989]

Thanks for all the great Volvo posts. Ive had a 240, 940, and two s70s. Recently my passenger front window got stuck in the down position. The electric window would only go down and not up. Like an idiot I was going down to see if the switch would kick in to bring it back up and now it is stuck completely down. All other windows work fine. This is a 98 S70 and there are not regular fuses for windows but rather it is a self regulated breaker (or so the manual says). All I can figure is the motor is bad, but pulling the motor out of one at the scrapyard was virtually impossible. I suppose if I took the window out first it would be easier. Does this sound like the window motor to you? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[@RobertDIY]

Joshua Nickerson Switch.

[@joshuanickerson2989]

Robert DIY Thanks Robert, but unless both switches decided to die at the same time(driver side and passenger side I don't think that is it). I managed to pop the window free while it was in the down position and get it up and put in some shims. Thanks again.

[@RobertDIY]

Ok.

[@paultohh]

hey robert, i have a 98 volvo s70. my window on the front passenger side when i roll it up doesn't slide into the window sealant properly (it angles slightly forward leaving a small gap near the rear vertical axis of the window). The result is a small gap between the window and window sealant/housing and lots of air noise in the cabin especially at higher speeds. Do you think I need to replace the window regulator and motor or reset the window in the housing? Do you think that would correct the problem? thanks,

[@RobertDIY]

Paul T. Probably the roller on the bottom of the window. You need to pull the panel, look at what is broken and go from there.

[@paultohh]

ok thanks robert, i'll go ahead and do that

[@paultohh]

hey robert, i ended up tightening the bolts of the window regulator and motor to the door frame and re-adjusting the glass and that seems to have corrected the problem, hopefully the fix will be relatively permanent. thanks for your videos

[@RobertDIY]

Paul T. You're welcome.

[@robbero]

Robert, my window doesn't close normal. I mean it's moving from position at the end when I try to close it fully. Where I can find problem?

[@RobertDIY]

***** Either a bad regulator or mount post. What kind of car do you have?

[@robbero]

Robert DIY I'm glad you've replayed. I have Volvo V70 1999 2.5TDI. At the end when window almost close it moves little bit to front and then leads to a small gap. Now I just push window with my hand sideways. Have you got video how to remove or change/fix window regulator? It would be very helpful. Thanks.

[@RobertDIY]

This video will help. Just pull the door panel and see if one of the rollers is damaged.

[@robbero]

Robert DIY Rollers doesn't seem to be damaged. Window moves little bit on regulator. Question is how window is attached to regulator? Maybe I can tighten up window somehow.

[@RobertDIY]

This video shows how the glass is attached to the regulator, the rollers.

WHere was the stock Volvo alarm ??? its not real loud but you can hear it.. id got the other side that was tinted ! my buddy had a window smashed out.... for a year or more youd get into his car and a shard would be in the door or in the seat threads or on the dash and he vacuumed for like 4 straight hrs ...MANY TIMES.... it gets every where and you'll be cleaning some dust off the console(2 yrs later) and you'll be like damn thing got me again...

[@RobertDIY]

AwakeDude911 I know. I have a pretty good shop vac, contractor grade, and I kept vacuuming. The alarm did not go off because the person never opened a door. I had cash in there, laugage, about $3,000 worth of equipment, and they took a worthless 1/2 broke, 10 year old laptop. It had tons of stuff I need on it but it was locked down and everything. SMH
