Posting here as finally heard back from VCUK, no financial assistance due to vehicle being over 6 years old.

XC70 D5 SE Geartronic
First Reg: 31/01/2008. Acquired by me: 10/08/2015. 1 previous owner.
Current mileage 156,308. Full Volvo service history until 144k service which I did myself.
Replacement windscreen fitted by Volvo dealer in Hull at 121,639 miles on the 29/05/2014 due to a crack in the screen and a bonding issue on the top. Screen bonding issue raised to me at the MoT (08/01/2016 150,106 miles) and is so loose it can be lifted from the car.
VCUK not contacted by dealer as they thought my chances of goodwill were slim (lazy dealer and I didn't buy the car from them and have test driven two cars there and bought neither so maybe they don't like me)
VCUK contacted my myself and refused to offer goodwill due to age, mileage and the replacement screen stating possible poor workmanship even though it was done in the Volvo dealer network.
Windscreen does not appear to let water into the cabin at this time, dealer would charge £120 to reseal the screen.
Current windscreen is cracked so I'm having it replaced at my expense shortly and retrofitting the later weather strip to prevent further leakage.
