Volvo S60 P2 Window Regulator Sliding Block (Slider) Replacement
Have you ever pulled up to the the drive through window to get your first cup of coffee of the day, hit the switch to roll down the window and boom!? Your Volvo S60 window glass tilts, slides down crooked, and eventually drops down into the door sideways. So frustrating!
What Happened?
The P2 chassis vehicles have sliding blocks that ride on two rails which are attached to the window glass on one side, and Volvo window regulator on the other. Over time these blocks become brittle and eventually break. Once they crumble, there's nothing holding the glass into place. Since this is a known issue, it's not a bad idea to replace them as preventative maintenance. They're inexpensive, easy to replace, and replacing them ahead of time may save you from the disaster story above, just sayin'.
You can also find them on our sitewith other Volvo Parts at FCP Euro.
How do I Replace a Volvo Window Regulator Slider?
- First, remove the inside mirror cover.
- Next, remove the grab handle cover.

- Now, remove the door panel, unhook the door handle release clip, and remove the connectors from the panel.
