My wife came home with the drivers door window off its track last night. I have tried to find a procedure for the door panel removal but can not locate anything specific for a 2003 v70. Can someone point me in the right direction or let me know how to get the panel off so I can check out the window issue. Thanks.

Carefully remove the triangular trim panel over the door mirror mount. Use a bone tool or flat screwdriver to pry off the cover over the door handle. Reomve the two Torx screws in the handle. There are multiple plastic fasteners around the bottom edge of the door. Remove the fasteners by carefully pushing in the center circle. The fasteners are two-piece and reusable. Lift the panel up over the lock pin and disconnect the wiring from the door, window, mirror and locks.

Haynes publishes a manual for V70s available online.

OK, Thanks. Got the panel off without damaging anything. Its about 20 degreees today and I was apprehensive about prying on the plastic trim without being sure of what I was doing. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. Pretty much the same procedure for my 2000 C70.
