Replacement of Windscreen and Sun roof seals
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knows someone who could replace the sunroof and windscreen seals on my Volvo 850 estate (1995).
Thanks |

Have you got Insurance screen cover?
That may be the better route if so- the major screen replacement companies should be able to do the seals. Bob. |

As you know the windscreen is bonded in place, any attempt to remove it risks breaking or cracking it, so you might not find anyone willing to take the chance...unless you're willing to have a new screen fitted

If that's the way you're going and not claiming on an insurance I'd shop around for a smaller firm rather than the big names, and be clear you're paying out of your own pocket, in my experience there's a price for the insurers and a real price. But does the screen need rebonding? or are we talking about the trim type strips around the windscreen?

So went to Stoke Volvo and paid for a replacement myself for a pucker windscreen, just under 500 quid. Just my thoughts

Me too, I'd be surprised if a dealer did the work. Ever watch a pro do this you soon get the idea it's not for chancers. Can't imagine the everyday dealership 'wrench', no matter how able, does it enough. A pro does it day-in-day-out.
