Volov has replaced the windscreen on my 2012 XC70 without cost, due to the seal not being correct. I noticed it due to water ingress, but of course it does influence the structural stiffness.
This is about as well known among us technicians today as it is to "ordinary people" that it gets lighter outdoors when the sun shows up.
In my case, I noticed that as soon as I got a new windscreen, the sound made by the chassie, when passing a small ridge diagonally, was suddenly gone. It wasn't there when the car was brand new either, but had evolved over time. I thought it was just the car "settling in", but as soon as I got a new windscreen fitted and the "gnirk" disappeared, I realized the connection.
I've actually had the windscreen replaced twice, at no cost, but that was just because the new window fitted, to fix the leak, turned out to have a fault. They tried to repair that, but it didn't work, so I'm now on my third screen.
