Fixing a loose window button on 98 V70

[Rsokk]

Hi

The driverside windowswitch keept falling out of its socket all the time, so it was time to have a look and see what could be done.

For this repair/temp fix, you need

Pair of plyers

2 Staples about 11-12 mm wide

There are several other good guides to removing the window controll unit, so I'll just skip that part

The culprints, worn and bent plastic hinges

This kind of staple, might need a little bending to get it right

place the staple behind the button and under its collar, then use a pair of plyers to bend it over the plastic hinges, dont tighten it to much, as you want to have some movement, and as little friction against the plastic as possible

Both buttons for the front done, note the position of the staples

Entire thing took about 10 minuttes, including cleaning of the contacts.

Note that this is a temporarily fix, while you looking for an proper replacement.

Have fun
