First, every once in a while I am hearing a sound from my passenger door area that sounds like the window is rattling a bit or that something in the door is rattling. Not all the time, but occuring more often. I get out of car adn open door, try to shake it or the galss and everything seems as solid as ever? Any ideas. This is driving me crazy. Any ideas? Surely someone on here has had this experience as well.

Second, is a tires question. 1998 S70 T5. Just picked up a set of Falken Ziex ZE512. 205/55-16. Any comments on this tire. Of course after purchasing them, I have heard some great reviews and some terrible. I was wondering what the rest of us Volvo drivers think for this car? I have not put them on yet, but will have them installed within a few days.

As always, thanks for your help and input.

 

1. If you can remove the door panel and check the rear window guide. They are known to break and cause noise. Do you hear a slight grinding when putting the window down?

 

It is really strange, but I dont hear a thing when I put the window up or down. Is it difficult to get the panel off? Surely not Im guessing. I'll look into this. Thanks. and since your the expert, what do you think of teh tires I got for the S70?

Thanks again.

 

The tires are pretty good I have seen alot of Volvo's with them.

To remove the door panel remove the trim ring around the inner door handle.
Then the screw under the cover in the grab handle to close the door.

The Carefully seperate the door panel from the door. The Glue holding the panel together is Junk and it might seperate on you when coming apart.
