Ah, yes, sorry about that - i'd just come from a thread discussing the 940 Mk1 sunroof (steel) and the brain cell hadn't caught onto the Mk2 bit which means a glass sunroof.
The steel sunroof has a downwards pointing lip the sunroof seal slides upwards onto with it's own lip - glass sunroofs have a groove in the seal which sits on the edge of the glass panel.
If you can find the thickness of the glass panel (usually about 5-6mm) and look for a generic seal with a flocked edge which is what i believe the 960 had, you will probably find something close. I beieve Volvo still used Golde as the sunroof manufacturer, even when they changed to glass roofs so maybe emailing them might give a result. I can't imagine they would use several different types of seal for glass sunroofs, it wouldn't be viable for them to hold a different variety of seals according to manufacturers whims and would involve much more testing etc for them to guarantee no leaks etc.
Alternatively drop these an email with details of your car - also point out you're in the UK as the 940 was discontinued stateside in 95 and the 960 only lasted a couple of years more.

There are other USA based parts suppliers that may have one as well, if you could post a pic of the profile of your seal, there are a number of other possibilities such as VAG, Merc, BMW that all used similar roof panels/mechs.
