1997 850 - Driver window tilted to front

Post by dejongmc »

Hello,

When I open the driver side window, and I push the button to close the window again, halfway up the window will tilt forward and I'm not able to close the window.
By hand I am able to straighten the window and get the window back in place, but it looks like something broke inside the doorpanel.

What could it be?
1997 850 NA Wagon - 261,000 miles - Is no longer
2004 V70 NA Wagon - Saved my life
2004 S80

I wrote it up below. It is known as "window askew" problem...

Info for 1998 S70 but 850 is almost the same...
