Window lift cable S60 2001

Recently (when I drove my S60 T5 through a car wash) I noted that my driver's
side rear window was not all the way up, and I was not able to put it up with
either the front or rear control button. Last Friday (this year's hottest day
so far) I opened up the door and found the cable snarled and not on the lower
pulley. Also the cable was somewhat stranded and was not winding on the actuator
spool in an orderly fashion. As I was getting ready to go to the KC Midsommar
meet I didn't have a lot of time to work on it, so I did (with some difficulty)
get the window all the way up, past some apparent obstruction near the top of
the travel, ran the actuator to tighten the cable and hold the window closed.
Then I unplugged the control and reassembled the door.
I would like to restore function to this window, but am not eager to $hell out
a lot of dollar$ for a new actuator with cable since the old one seems to work
fine. It is just the cable. Is there a cable one can buy to replace this, or
is the cable alone available anywhere?

    Hello, I had the same thing happen on my 01 v70 passenger rear door. On mine the top pulley a little piece of the pulley broke and my cable came off of track. I checked with volvo and a the didn't sale just the cable. I talked a independent volvo tech and he said the whole regulator had to be replaced. It is riveted in, so yopu have drill out the rivets, remove the old regulator. Put the new regulator in and where the rivets are either re rivet using heavy Volvo rivets or use small machine screws with bolts and washer. It took me about 3 hours for the whole job. The part was $325 from volvo, so I got a used for $125 from Volu Parts. I hope this helps. I believe at the volvo service dept it was a $650 job. so, I it worth it to do it myself. I hope this helps.
    Thanks
    Dennis

      Thanks, Dennis.
      All my experience with VoluParts has been good, although it was mostly in 1980.
