My Subaru had this issue and needed a new screen to cure it - look around other forums and you will find that this is far from unique to XC60s.

Hi Clan our dealer told us to plan for an extra £600 for a screen if they broke it or we could claim on our insurance, I felt this was a bit of a cop out to be frank and I intend to challenge them about it.

There are volvo glass primers , clips and special bonding glue which has to be heated up in an oven to 80 C to comply with volvos original factory safety standards . It would be worth asking if they do this in house or farm it out and if so are the proper processes carried out . If it is any consolation i've seen quite a few done and none broken .

The service manager suggested to my wife that she drop a brick on it and claim on the insurance.
I'm a bit disappointed with them it's completely out of character we've always had fantastic service from them. |

Their tech probably already cracked a windshield when trying this repair, so the manager is ****ed off at the situation. Still, epic answer.

Why should it fail? some problem with the robots in the factory no doubt , The dealer didn't fit the screen , they are not responsible for it they are there to help and repair it .. and being the Manufacturer's agent they are the only ones guaranteed to do it properly , i don't think you will find many dealers breaking screens getting them out .
