Volvo Window Regulator Sliding Block Replacement - Easy DIY (S60, S80, V70, XC90)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- ►Have you ever pulled up to the drive-through window to get your first cup of coffee of the day, hit the switch to roll down the window, and boom!? Your Volvo S60 window glass tilts, slides down crooked, and eventually drops down into the door sideways. So frustrating!
The P2 chassis vehicles have sliding blocks that ride on two rails which are attached to the window glass on one side, and Volvo window regulator on the other. Over time these blocks become brittle and eventually break. Once they crumble, there's nothing holding the glass into place. Since this is a known issue, it's not a bad idea to replace them as preventative maintenance.

- First, remove the inside mirror cover.
- Next, remove the grab handle cover.
- Now, remove the two T-25 torx behind the cover.
- Then, remove the 8 push pin door panel clips.
- Now, remove the door panel, unhook the door handle release clip, and remove the connectors from the panel.
- Cut around the grey insulation cover with a razor blade and remove it.
- Position the window regulator to where you can gain access. This is easier if you hook the switch back up and power the regulator into place.
- Remove the lock clips from the sliding blocks.
- Remove the blocks and replace.
- Grease the rails in which the blocks pivot.
-Installation in reverse order.

Just an extra tip here at 4:05 - You need to make sure that regulator arm is not bent away from the door. If it IS bent, then the ball joint on the end of the arm will keep popping out of the blue plastic clip, even if the clip is brand new.... On my car, I used vice grips to carefully bent the arm slighly inwards to stop the ball joint from popping out under tension. Doing that (i.e bending the arm slightly) permenantly resolved the issue of the ball joint popping out of the blue plastic clip.
I did that a few times, eventually replaced the mechanism with new one.
once they get bent they keep bending again.
winter ice on the glass freezes the glass to the bottom seal, that bends the arms.
I try to always use the garage in winter, you can try spraying the bottom seal with silicone spray.
Great video! My wife has a 2005 S60 and the passenger window fell off the glide and after watching your video, I ordered the parts sliding blocks online. When I got the parts, the whole process from start to finish took about 45 minutes! Thanks for posting!
That's great to hear, Jim! Always nice when things work out like that!
A perfect video. Just had my passenger window fail due to the plastic clip disintegration. This helps me massively now on how to quickly replace said item. Many thanks, Gary (UK).
You're welcome Gary
Awesome video, did my daughters 2003 v70 drivers side today. Took me less than an hour. Without this video, I think it would have taken me hours.
James, I'm glad to hear the video helped.
Our daughters and their cars!😄
With only minor lacerations to my hands, I now have working windows again. LOL.
Thanks FCP Euro, this was really helpful.
Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for. " Volvo S60 T5 R" 2003 Sweden
The outer trim at the bottom of the window freezes on the window in winter time, and when you try to lower it, it forces on these plastic sliders and breaks them after a while. I push downwards with my fingers on the trim to force it dislodge from the window in freezing mornings, before getting into the car.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.!!
Straight forward. Great video. Thanks for posting!
Wow. This looks super easy compared to what I expected I'd have to do.
Over the winter, had my passenger door freeze with ice on my 2005 s60r and the clips fell off, thanks for this video helped a lot!
Youre great with your explanations and very helpful when it comes to fixing up my 2004 s80
Another awesome vid from FCP. I might add a little of that grease in the hole before snapping the bar back into place would help.
So easy to follow even with no mechanic experience. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. Saved me a lot of money and hassles. Good work.
I think this is what i have to do now. Yesterday i opened my window at -27*c and heard a crack as it opened, when lowering the window it wont stay leveled but i managed to close it again. Gonna buy those blocks and try to fix it when tempatures are higher again otherwise im gonna probably destroy every plastic clip i encounter :D Thanks for the video
How did the repair go in the end?
@@cosmicallyderived is fixed. Only tricky part was that everything was extremely cold
So helpful video that allows me to have a clue when fixing the similar issue
great video thank you! headed outside to swap these pos clips out right now!
Great video, however the difficult part is played fast forward.. That right side has less space to work in, and to click the ball in to that new block is pretty difficult!
I've got that t-shirt 3 times now.
great video , can you slow down the front pivot replacement... that one appears to be more difficult to get to ....
Great video! You really explained step by step. Thanks!
Great video, easy clear explanations. 2005 XC70. One slider just was not there anymore. Probably at the bottom of the door in pieces. The other three were in bad shape. Replace all four definitely.
Thanks for vid. Did both driver and passenger. windows this afternoon after watching your video. 👍
Happy to help ruel elledge!
Thanx for an exelent video, helped alot when i changed mine today.
You just saved me around $200 bucks
You guys are the best. Great video.
Thank you and well explained, very professional
You're welcome!
+1 to Ashlyn's comment below - was trying to do this today. Did the rear sliding block with no problem, got the front sliding block in place with the ball joint aligned with it, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to get a pair of locking pliers in there to pop it in!
At least I found a very good tutorial about the thing I am convinced happened to my driver's widow. My mechanic suggested me to replace all the windows regulator mechanism which is in my opinion unreasonable as four months ego I removed a driver's door panel and saw it from the inside. That time I only applied some white grease to the moving parts and then it helped. Hope that is nothing more serious. Thanks.
You're welcome. The sliding block is a common replacement on Volvos.
Great stuff, thanks! I won't get the new slider pivots for about a week, but this helped me frankenfix it in the meantime with what's left of the old sliders. Had to get the window back up. Next time should go even quicker. One thing - if one slider is still stubbornly stuck on the regulator peg, how the heck do you get it off? Had to slide the window onto it at an angle rather than the other way around.
Excellent Work ..... Thank You
Oh wow. This was so helpful. I have an 2009 s80 & now both front windows are having problems going up & that gets really annoying. Hope this is my issue.
Great video! Thank you.
Great video worked like a champ!!!
I have a 2008 v70 mk3 but cant seem to find a video for this particular model! this video is so helpful though
Thx! Nice professional job,regards!
Thanks buddy,,, I just replace my car regulator following your video,,, Very easy, Thanks a Lot for sharing your video.
You are welcome!
Great video lots of help
Thank you so much for such clear instructions and video! After installing the new clips and testing the window, it slows to a crawl and doesn't close completely. I think I may have ordered the wrong clips bc they did not have a snug fit with the arm, but that is the only comment I can add. The pins did seem to hold strongly. Can anyone help?
Outstanding!! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome, Mary!
Hi Jay and Fcp Euro team, great video as always, if you remove both window sliding blocks can you remove the whole window from the door?
Thanks man... 2001 s80 t6
Great! Another helpful video!
What was that greese used?
Oml thanks this the second time it happened i 3d printed the little pieces and everything seems to work i think every older volvo owner gonna be here one point or another🤣
Mine failed yesterday on my 2004 V70 D5 - Thanks for the Video
My window just fell down in my 04 V70R (224k miles) for the first time. Thank you for this video! Got the panel off and confirmed one of the channel blocks broke because I found it in the bottom of the door. Will be replacing both once parts come in.
The grey cover still had all the original sticky sealant on it so I don't think the door panel has ever been off before. Is there anything specific you recommend to replace that with? Will double-sided tape be okay?
Thank you saved me £125,00
Tip for everyone ... when you come to swap the sliders put a long cloth inside the door to catch the 2 spring circlips as you WILL drop them inside the door panel when fitting them. The cloth will let you retrieve the clips easily rather than spend 10 mins trying to locate them inside the door.
or attach a thin wire to them and forget problem
My attempt was a fucking nightmare but this video did make it extremely easy to get it done right. (Some arms were bent from rolling it down accidently while off the tracks, window broke on the corner but those were my fault)
Thank you!!
Same procedure on a C30? My driver window still works, but makes a grinding noise past a certain point, thinking of trying this out to see if it fixes the issue.
Thank you it heps for me
Thx FCP Euro for the video
You're welcome, Hathim!
Replaced both slider blocks on the passenger front last summer. Now, when I put the window up it hits the top and comes back down an inch. Did I do something wrong???
Excellent videos BTW, fast, accurate, and easy to see and understand plus tools & socket sizes, good on ya Bro
The window most likely needs to be re-initialized. You can try rolling it up until the window hits the top, letting off the auto up, then holding the auto up for 3 seconds. If that doesn't work you'll need to visit a Volvo dealership to have the window re-initialized. should take no more than a ½ hour.
ruclips.net/video/_j-F8wi__5U/видео.html pull the fuse while the window is rolling up or down in automatic mode
Pulling the front window fuse while putting windows up solved problem. Thankyou!!!
How to replace a regular arm would be good as well
Wow, awesome! My window was sticking a little, but today it came off its rocker. Clunk. I live downtown and park my 2003 XC70 on the street. 😬 if I don't trust myself to do it (I don't), I wonder how much the Volvo dealership would charge? The nearest Volvo repair shop is not convenient and usually booked solid.
Much harder on a 2005 S-80 because the regulator is flipped around so that the back of the slide rail is seen first and then the regulator arm behind it, So to replace the pivot block on the front requires drilling out the rivets that hold the speaker in place or with a hole saw, cut an access point . I inspected the block with a mirror and decided to leave it alone
just done it!!!! so difficult... expect to loose a bit of skin and blood. no ones mentioned the other t25 Screw holding the door panel in place!!!. impossible to fit the retaining wire clips after getting regulator clips back in channels, but they did make a nice loud click when pressed into place like in the video, goes up and down smooth and quiet. So unless it gets stuck (ice) i'm sure it'll be fine.
Was that just white lithium grease used? What type of adhesive might you recommend to put that foam piece back on with?
is there a way to lower or raise the window without battery power? Trying to position the window to be able to access the arms and clips
Last time I pulled off the door panel I didn't notice this, I'm just wondering if it can be the cause of my door rattle, as even after adding lots of sound deadening, it appears that the window regulator itself is producing the rattle.
Thanks a lot for the video. Will I need a new set of the eight plastic pins that hold the door cover into place, or will they still hold even after pressing through them to take the cover off?
Hi Ryan, you should be able to reuse them unless they break during removal. Might not be a bad idea to have a few spares on hand.
nice video,
what kind of grease you are using? is brake grease ok? thanks.
Super !!!
seems easy enough, even on a 5 below zero day... fun times ahead.
I already try replace the blocks, the window would go you a couple of times then of track again. I spend 3 hours figuring it out. How do I fix this problem?
I'm doing this job on my 2004 S80 Awd 2.5t (Awd not working) now because my window fell. It's 40 degrees and raining at 1230am in Philadelphia Pa lol. I can't believe they left out the extra T25 screw I ALMOST BROKE MY DOOR!!! It's located in the door cup holder😠😠😠😠 otherwise good video
They're right in 2004 s80 this does not work as everything is flipped. Window regulator is behind the glass JESUS WHY DID THEY CHANGE THAT
@@musicmann7891 Man, are you ever right! I am working on a 2005 Volvo S80 with a driver's side window that got off track due to trying to put the window down in the recent frigid weather here in SW PA. Everything is reveresed. the window regulator, as you say, IS BEHIND the glass. One has to feed the clips in from behind and do all the work behind the glass, including putting the holder pin in the sliding block. Whoever the freaking "engineer" is who changed the orientation IS A FREAKING IDIOT. What should have been a snap, has turned into a freaking chore!
I've seen in another vid that the push pins holding the main panel are not reusable in 2005 and up models. So in my case with my 2006 S60 i can't use them/put them back in once i take them out..
The passenger side front window came off the tracks (dropped down at the front and leaning outward). Is it simply a matter of following the disassembly instructions on the video and putting it back on the track, or should I expect to need certain parts and pre-order them (in which case, what might be the parts needed?)
So I made sure that the pieces I bought were the right ones. But as I'm replacing them now, I can't seem to get the click when putting the new one in. And it's not secured at all. Any possible reasons why?
What about the rear passenger/drivers side window, 2004 model XC90?
Hey so What kind of grease Should i use? You seemed to think the other job was a bit messy. What grease should be used i have multi purpose black grease. Can i use it?
Hello!
That was an awesome demonstration!
I think my passenger side window suffers from this exact "illness", so I'm seriously thinking about doing this.
I know it's an old video, but I would like to ask you for the part number (OEM) of those sliders, if it's not too much trouble?
Thank you!
Have a nice day!
Adrian glad you found it helpful, here is a link to the part with all associated numbers: www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-window-regulator-sliding-pivot-3509416-2?RUclips%20Product%20Link&
Can you please do a video for that exact same thing for a 2017 VOLVO XC60. Drivers window and lock
Wait one minute???? The one on the 2000 S80 is flipped around. I’m working on the blind side . The channel is facing outward not inward. I can’t even see the clips once they are snapped in the channel. The regulator arms pull in when they snap in not like yours that push away from you when they snap in. Is there any videos that show this application.
If your window doesn’t roll down at all no matter what switch you press, does that mean it’s because of these blocks or does it mean something else? If it’s because of the blocks how do I get the window down enough to see the blocks?
Just wish this was as Easy on an s80 then it is on this s60. On tbe s80 the window sliding channels are facing the other way (towards the outside of the door) so an easy job turns into a bastard of a job xd
How did you fix it?
@@maxstirner8717 by smushing my hands into the door. There really is no other way, just have to go by feel.
I needed a couple of these....
Thought I'd get 4...."Just in case the other side needed them"
Looked on the FCP Website: For the four... US$7.96...Fine, I thought....
Then I was advised the shipping cost to my country: US$45....!!!
for a "Jiffy Bag" weighing, what, 2oz? ..... Unbelievable.
Sorry... but I'm not paying that for postage.
But, great video...much appreciated...Thank you.
There are other sites that sell them too. Shipping might be cheaper
Jay, any tips on how to remove the rivets if the entire module has to be changed?
In that case the rivets will need to be drilled out.
What do i do if the regulator has fallen off the track and i cant remove it in order to get it back into the track
Does this also help when the window is off track like I can hear the motor still working in it
Hi Taurian: Yes, I would guess so....mine has just come off the tracks completely and the glass is at the bottom of the door!
I'm suspecting both blocks have failed as it was not shutting completely and appeared slightly tilted for the last week....as usual, I put off checking it out as the wife needed the car every day...now it's a panic job. DOH!
READ THIS.!!!!! You do not have to remove and later put on the circlip. Just leave it on. The clip will open and snap shut. On an older Volvo where the clip is behind the window, the is no way to get the circlip back on on later.
Hi FCP Euro, How closely similar to an '04 XC70 is the door configuration??
I purchased a whole motor for the window and it keeps falling, what do I do,
Buenas tardes espero que sepa hablar español como se llama las piezas azules ,eso me pasa a mi coche se me han caído los cristales
how to fix window bounce back
You don't need to remove all the electrical connections and only the top part of the panel needs to be open for access. It's an easy job. The parts costs me $10.
Was it a dealer item, Dorman from what I’m told does not make them
I did everything in this video and the window is still going lopsided. Also the window adjusts up and down on its own….please help me
Question for you guys over at FCP on this topic - I've long had an issue where the windows seem to bind about halfway up, tripping the anti-pinch sensor (and yes, all windows initialized in VIDA, etc), we did try replacing the blocks as you've done here, but it still trips the anti-pinch half way up and you can hear the window struggling. What would you look at next, window track seals/pads?
Would 100% look at the tracks next, make sure they are in their proper place and don't need adjustment, and have no debris in the tracks.
I installed both blocks but the frame keeps bending in the back when the window goes up in down in the front of the frame keeps falling in.
Michael Griffin yup same with me..
But my question is that, what can I do if it is the rear window
The driver side window on my v70r it's about an inch from closing in auto mode and then rolls all the way back down. Rolls up fine in manual mode. Have you heard of this happening before?
I would check the weather stripping and channels to see if there's anything blocking the window from going all the way up. If an obstruction is detected the window will not roll up fully to prevent damage.
My v70 has the same problem. The window on the driver's side goes up to halfway up to steps 2 and 1, then immediately rolls back down completely. Only when it has reached the bottom can I do it manually again completely. When I open the window to 40% everything works great but as soon as I have the window over 50% down and try to close it automatically or manually, it automatically shuts down completely. Is there something defective or needs to be recalibrated via vida software? Thanks for the answer.
1 problem... Window does not line up with the rubber towards the front bottom of the door and does not line up.
Pretty straightforward, but a tad more difficult if you have an S80. The slider rail is reversed, which makes it a tad cumbersome. See my blog post here: www.ducked.nl/blog-entries/volvo-s80-2-4t-replacing-window-sliders/
I have a 1998 V70 which has the circular sliding blocks. I have removed the driver's door panel and can get to the rear block, but I do not see how to get to the front block. Do I need to remove the metal panel that holds the windows motor?
Hi Richard, the 98 V70 is a bit different from this video, you may need to remove the metal panel that holds the window regulator to access the front block.
@@fcpeuro I removed the 8 bolts that hold the plate to the door but the metal plate doesn't come off. The regulator motor is held on from the other side. Is there a trick to getting the plate off?
Special grease?
Also any part numbers for those sliding blocks?
www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-window-regulator-sliding-pivot-3509416-2
Do you have the Interior Door-mirror cover part #? I broke it while putting it on
9151936
Can I ask what lubricant you would use?
Hello Trevor, not sure of the exact brand but any type of silicone based grease will work.
What kind of grease did you use on the regulator and sliding blocks?
Hi Kerry, for this video, Jason used some Antisieze on the rail and clip!
