I own a 2006 Volvo XC90. The passenger side window goes up all the way and then comes back down three inches. The only way I can get it up is to keep tapping the power window button. My local mechanic said I had to take the car to the dealer for this repair. I called the dealer and they said it would need to be checked at a cost of $120 to start with. Can you offer any help?

Late last night, about 200 miles into a 300-mile flog, I realized I was having one of those ecstatic automotive experiences, a drive where time and distance telescope, leaving just the sensation of boring weightlessly through the night into a tunnel carved by powerful headlamps. It was a mostly interstate romp, and even big pickups fled the left lane before me. Steering and throttle seemed to be wired to my brain; slingshotting past traffic took the merest thought, accompanied by surging revs and a distant engine snarl. The suspension might have been connected to the seat of my jeans. Brakes? Never touched them till it was time to exit.
