Exclamation dang cheap plastic window guides...

last year, my daughters car had a broken window guide in the driver's door...
this year both guides broke - dropped the window and now it's broken

how much will a new drivers window cost?

2003 S60...

ugh

the plastic clips are SO cheap! but I'm sure the glass will be pricey

Volvo Sliding Jaw Window Regulator 740 940 960 S60 S80 S90 V70 XC90 2 PIECES $1.75!

You sure they were fully engaged when replaced last year? I haven't had any come back broken again after replacement.

Used glass can usually be had for $50 to $80.

yah, it's a bummer - we had them fully seated/clipped - i think something got hung up in the door and popped both clips this time...

searching for some glass - lovely now that it started raining around here

Make sure the regulator arms aren't bent, causing them to break.
