I recently (November) picked up a very clean 2008 XC70 SE Lux with sunroof. Full service history and everything working as it should, 125,000 miles. Screen is original Volvo. This is my 4th Volvo and 3rd of the V70 series.

Reading this thread and yes, sure enough the screen is not attached at the top! There is no sign of water ingress or moisture, the car is in lovely condition throughout.

Interestingly the maintenance handbook shows regular body and paint checks by Volvo yet they never spotted this.

I have not yet done anything yet, nor contacted VCUK, there are a couple of stone chips in the screen so I'm tempted to simply get it replaced under my insurance. I have seen a couple of comments suggesting that non original screens can be a problem for the rain sensing wipers? Also, is there a screen heating element in these?

thanks
