850 LH window guide repair question

Post by **scot850** » 30 Jun 2016, 10:30

The LH lower mount has broken off which I know is a common problem. As the guides are now NA, other than taking a chance in a junkyard (I believe V/S70's use the same part), has anyone repaired the lower guide bracket? I thought I read a topic on this recently, but can't seem to find it. The other threads I've found talk about replacing the part.

Can you take a picture? I think I replaced one of these once upon a time- I think Amazon even carries them but not sure. If they are blue and have a circular piece built on to them, then I know what you are talking about...if it is square/rectangular and bolts onto the actual glass piece, then I'm not sure- maybe there one in the same?

I am talking about the channel guide at the rear of the door for the window to run down.

This is the part:

http://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/28402/W ... e-9187646/

Most of the US retailers say on their web-sites the part is un-available to order. Eeuroparts had 1 left in stock so I ordered it going on the basis most in the PnP will be the same (all the 850's they had I checked and were). I know the same part is used on S/V70's.

After placing my order with eeuroparts, I don't know what made me think of to call the local dealer, and they say, sure they can get them and gave me a special price that is lower in CDN$ than US$ with no shipping cost, so I bought the 2 channel runner wheels also at half the price eeuroparts quoted. Price for channel was about $25 so it is cheaper to buy than run around to PnP 30km away looking for a marginal part + gas.

Spoke to eeuroparts to cancel the order. Hopefully hey follow through on that, as 3 hours later order still shows as live!

Glad you got that sorted. I have a window regulator (motor and scissors lift together in one piece) for the rear driver's side window if you end up needing one of these. They came out of a door when I replaced that side on my S70 ('98)...I think they are the same for the 850's. It's been sitting around for awhile so I have no need for it. It's yours for the price of shipping.

Thanks for the offer, but so far the that part appears to be ok in all the doors. I'll keep it in mind!
