1996 850 sunroof jammed

Post by steve.m »

My sunroof somehow hopped over the inside cover while I was trying to get a tighter close going down the road. I have played with it for hours over the last couple of days, and I'm afraid of damaging it. I looked at my chilton's for volvos but can't find a good blow-apart image of the assembly. Does anyone have a suggestion? Winter is here, and the glass won't shut.

Thanks,
Steve

Probably something jammed in the tracks...parts of plastic (like the skirt) have been known to chip, fall in and cause such things. Hope this helps:

If you need PDF files with all the part numbers and blow-up diagram, email me with your email address and I'll send them to you as attachments.
