Thumbs up Water ingress info

Im sure this has been written about many times before so if im rambling please feel free to delete this thread. I am writing this to give people who dont know what to do peace of mind. I have a 2008 V70 2.4 D5. I had a water ingress into passenger footwell. As it happens by coincidence had my windscreen smashed a few weeks after I noticed the ingress. I was worried sick and had nightmares about expensive trips to a bodyshop. When The windscreen company arrived we got talking about how long the windscreen bond took to dry. He told me half an hour then proceeded to tell me that the water ingress i was getting was down to the old windscreen and its bond. He entered the vehicle on the passenger side and pressed on the inside of the screen (before he took the old one out) showing me that actually the whole screen was moving/loose. He said that in all the years he had been doing it he had never come across a V70 screen that had not been leaking. Very common he said. Moral of the story is if you have this before you pay out on expensive bodyshop trips and go out of your mind with worry get the screen change as a matter of course. They have improved the windscreen bonding and changed the design of the screen so it bonds better. I hope this info helps someone as when it first happened to me I did not know where to start..
