While I was at the junkyard last week I pulled 2 pairs of rear window guides for the front doors on a S/V70 as spares. It was only when I got home I discovered that the felting on the inside of the channel was fairly worn on one of the door guides for the drivers (LH) side. Looking at the RH side I realised the felt guide is interchangeable, but not only that the passenger (RH) side ones show little or no wear.

I see that the RH front door rear window guide part # 9187647 is also discontinued.

The metal sections (unlike the 850 version) seems a lot 'beefier' so I don't think the lower bracket (riveted on the back of the door for S/V70 and screwed in place on the 850) rusts/breaks in the same way.

So if it is just the felt that is worn out, pull a passenger side one and swap the felt guide over. All it involves is getting the felt to hook over the metal guide on one side and then fit it into the channel.

I hope this is of help to others.

Neil.
