Window won't go up 700

posted by  someone claiming to be John Hamilton on  Mon Sep 15 00:34 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Can't get the driver's window to go back up on my 1998 V70. Where do I start to troubleshoot and how does the button unit come out of the door?
Thanks,
John Hamilton

First, you seem to have found the Rear wheel drive forum by mistake.
But this job is sort of similar to what's done on the RWD cars. The problem is, Swedish giants pressed the door switches into the door. They don't want to come out. Your choices are:
1) attack the trim around the switch fairly aggressively with small screwdrivers or other thin metal prying device. The clips are front and rear, centered on the ends.
2) pull the door panel and push it out from the inside. That's not easy either, but you stand less chance of chewing up a very visible piece of plastic.
The FWD forum no doubt has lots of discussions already about opening up the door panels so I'll simply refer you to their care.
