Check the wires at the point where it goes over from the roof to the rearwindow. Most of the times they get damaged at that point from opening and closing. New wire loom for the rearwindow is still available from the dealer. I had to replace it 2 weeks ago together with the window because some a.hole threw a stone through it :kill:

I only paid €40 at the time. But on the dutch480 forum I read that Volvo raised the price last month to an unbelievable €166 ex vat!!!
I hope that Volvo UK still quotes the old price. Ask for volvoparts# 3449998.
If you go to this topic you can see some pics I posted howto remove the big connector from the loom so you can get the loom through the small hole to the roof. On page 1 from that topic the're also some pics how to place the loom in the gutter from the window.
