I have that, fingers crossed that will be enough to get it replaced in good faith. I'll ring up the nearest dealer. |

I contacted Volvo directly hoping they would hold the data of all factory and retailer fitted windows to a particular car. Sadly they directed me to a retailer to have it looked at. Here's hoping... |

Hi,
If its the ORIGINAL screen and the bond has failed, you could be ok. My screen could be pushed away about 10mm. I contacted Volvo UK, by phone. Once I had a contact there, I emailed and then took all the info to my local dealer. Good luck! |

Hi, my V70, also an 08 has this exact problem. This morning it was actually raining from the interior light console....the car also has a recently failed climate control module, I'm assuming the two are related. Unbelievably frustrating.

Ring up Volvo Uk and get someone to take responsibility for this.
I did and got my V70 sorted and a V90 for 2 weeks while they fixed it. |

I took my '08 V70 D5 in yesterday for the seatbelt recall.
When I got in the car to take it in I noticed the passenger footwell was wet and on the way, water dripped out of the light above the rear view mirror. It had been parked pointing slightly downhill and it had rained a bit. I told the dealer about this at they checked it and simply said the bonding round the windscreen had gone. There was an estimate on the report to "replace windscreen" for £626.40 and they'd need the car for 2 days which seems excessive since the windscreen is fine and would, presumably, only need to be taken out and put back in having been re-bonded. Also, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about these things but aren't windscreens "structural"? In which case, even though my car's 13 years old now, I'd expect this not to be an issue as I've never had it on any other car. Is this therefore something Volvo should probably sort as an act of goodwill? I asked how serious it was and was told that if I don't get it fixed it will keep flooding the car and will fry the electrics. |

This job should be paid for by Volvo as it is caused by faulty assembly on the production line. Many owners on this forum have had Volvo rebond the screens free of charge. The only caveat is that if the dealer breaks the screen, you are liable for the cost but otherwise it's all down to them. Tell the dealer this is the situation and that he should speak to Volvo about it. If he tries to charge you, drop them and find another dealership.

I got a new screen fitted at no charge by Volvo, when this happened to me. I acutally got two screens and two replacements for free, since it was discovered that there was a fault with the first replacement screen I got.
At that time my car was more than five years old and had travelled some 180000 km. |
