When my "98" C70's Rear windows were replaced, the seal and window were replaced, with a different type of seal and a larger rear window the “fix” the leaking problem that didn’t exist. Once replaced, the left rear quarter window, started to leak. That leak was fixed by a tech disassembling that window again and cleaning the seal & resetting the window. The latches were never replaced the hinge is part of the window.
P.S. Volvo Techs dislike working on C70's, because of either inconsistencies of being hand built, or the differences between other Volvo models. And then, finally also because when there is something
Wrong, its usually time consuming and difficult to fix.
So again many of the changes between newer C70’s and older C70’s was to allow Volvo to maintain a consistency with the regular 70 series, Also Remember that the earlier C70s were being build “By hand”
at the TWR owned and controlled factory, After the Strike Volvo cars took greater control and started to standardize the production… For those of you who have been around for a few years, you’ll remember the
C70 was marketed and intended to be a limited production Touring Coupe, for empty nesters who wanted to make a Statement.
If you don’t believe me, look at the original sales education pamphlets (not the sales brochure) and Look
Up any of the older Rolling or SEES magazine along the URL for the C70 Factory, I’ll supply the URL latter when I can remember it.
