2003 XC70 Drivers Door Window Off Track (?)

Post by mmw »

Hi,
Live in Albuquerque NM. Last week we were below 0 a few days and one cold morning the drivers window made a loud POP when I tried to roll it down for visibility at an intersection... the glass then tipped forward and dropped a few inches into the door.
When I raised it the motor ran but the glass didnt move. I pulled it up by hand while activating the motor and it closed.
Now when I open/close it there is the pop, it will lower/raise sometimes, other times it wont.

So - my questions are: What do you think it might be? How do I get the door panel off the look inside?

The car is "new" to me, so I havent had an opportunity for minor self-help maintenance.

Thanks!

Sounds like the glass disconnected from the bracket that holds it to the window track. The best thing to do is open up the door panel and take a look.
