Window askew fix

Post by tailor »

Some more pictures to aid the repairs of the following items
If your drivers or passengers window tilts forward when trying to raise it, there is likely more than one cause to your woes.
The number one cause is this piece here: 1994-1997 Volvo 850 Turbo Window Regulator Rail-Front Left # 9187646( the right side is a different part number 9187647 )

It could also be a combination of a worn out window pivot:

Even with the regulator rail broken the window should work without tilting forward, the pivot will eventually deform and pop off the rivet.

The window pivot can be seen in the following picture, this is another pivot that I got from the scrap yard, unfortunately shortly after I snapped this picture I managed to knock it off the into door cavity... to be lost forever......

The fix for the regulator rail is listed here:
