I searched and couldn't find the answer i'm looking for.. Parting out a 98 XC70 and someone wants the window motors. I thought they were like the 850s and easy to remove, but obviously not. I need to lower the window and take bolts out of the window track to get the motors out or something. Could someone clarify the removal prcoedure? I have the panels off, all the 10mm bolts out but the panels the motors are attached to are still stuck to what I assume is the window track Than if I have the motors out, are the windows going to stay up? I really don't want to have to tarp the car until i'm finished pulling parts.

So from what I can tell, there are two clips that secure the window to the track. Those need to be removed and the assembly will come out as one. Problem being, the window will need to be supported with tape or whatever.

Looks like a step backwards in engineering compared to the 850 setup. It was much easier to get apart.

There are foam panels covering access windows that you will need to tear or cut open to get to the window track. Lower the window part way until the track pivots are where you can get to them. Pull the clips, pop the ball joints out (support the window at this point) and you can then remove the whole motor/scissor arm panel from the door. The motor can then be removed from the back side of that panel.

I pulled the clips and lowered the window but couldn't pop the ball joints out. I've man handled one of the motors out. Hopefully the next three actually come apart like they are supposed to.

Thanks for the reply though

I use one of those short flat crowbar type tools to reach in and pop the ball sockets.
