2000 C70 windows catching

Hi I am a new owner to a volvo C70 2000 and love it apart from When closing the passenger door the window catches on soft top and does'nt close properly, should the windows drop a bit when doors opened if not can this be done so they do

Hmm, my C70 is a coupe, but many coupes and convertibles have a mechanism (mirco switches I think is what they are called mainly) that drops the windows as you open/close the doors/roof. The micro switches IIRC assit in correct operation of the windows and the hood, ensuring that the windows move at the right time, each stage of the hood as it goes up and down is done in the correct stages etc. (usually if any of these fail, hoods can get stuck during operation and also windows may fail to operate accordingly.) Does your drivers door window have the same issue, or does it lower and raise slightly to ensure sufficient clearance? I would guess you probably have a faulty mircoswitch or a similar niggle causing the window not to drop. If its a microswitch, many mechanics will fail to realise this and waste time on the main parts that work the soft top. May be worth trying an auto electrician.

I have a 2005 C70. The windows drop a bit when the doors open, they drop much more when I lower the roof. I suggest you have a fault but I am not clever enough to know how to cure it though. There was some info on this site about resetting windows; might be worth you doing a search. Cheers and good luck Tony
