Door window regulator failures have been reported. These vehicles have a very complex door window mechanism that can be very difficult to adjust properly after installing a new window regulator. This can lead to air leaks, wind noise, and a door that doesn't open or close properly. This is a good time to find an experienced Volvo mechanic!

    Driver's window worked intermittently then not at all. I changed the door switch but that was not the problem. I suspect the door module or the regulator. Any comments out there to offer?

    window became stuck halfway. would move only partially. After trying to pull it up it fell to the bottom. Had to have the whole thing replaced. under warranty was costly.

    My Driver Window slid down and stopped working. Cable broke. Part $600. My mechanic found a place that will rebuild it for $350. Volvo used plastic rollers. If it is just a roller there is a fix on line ising a patio door roller. At least its not plastic.

    I didn't fix it. The Volvo dealership wanted $1200 to fix the problem with the window regulator. I just live with the noise.

    Window would go down but would make a grinding noise going up...

    Pulled cassette from door...Cable was off upper right pulley...Regulator needs overhauling....Will experiment doing it myself...if no luck will send it out for a rebuild...
