so recently my volvos driver window was sagging towards the front of the door, upon taking the door panel off i found that the front part of the window holder broke and it shows only 2 little dimples that hold it on,I dont have a welder so i just went to pick and pull and got another window that wasn't broke with the metal mounts and all is fine, has anyone else had this problem?

    That part is called the lower window channel. What happened to yours is not an isolated case but on 240's hasn't been much of an issue. Be glad they got smart and started to galvanize the metal. On 140's it was common to have to repair (replace) rotted channels--a bit of a scary operation involving hammering the channel over a tight fitting "gasket" onto the glass. -- Dave

    Hi,

    I had a problem with the manual window sagging a little, but it was due to the large rivet in the middle of the scissor mechanism.

    On half of the mechanism the hole was worn a little (it's originally a rectangular hole) or was it half the rivet that was worn? Either way, it was worn enough that there was a fair amount of play in the middle of the mechanism. I thought it would be a waste of time trying to repair it but somehow by using Automotive Goop it magically fixed the problem and it's been holding for around 2 years now.

    I have since got a spare used mechanism off Ebay just in case.

    Travis
