Hi guys, where can I source a new top seal for my 940 windscreen as the current one is coming apart.

think you will need to look out for a breaker car they are not hard to fit the clips then the top trim !

They are readily available new, for example:

As are the clips:

Skandix may not be the most cost-effective place from which to order as their carriage can be quite high, particularly for large items. However, their pricing is similar to Volvo.

A good second hand one is likely to be cheaper and fit better than a new one.

If there are problems with the purchase of the gasket, stick it with glass glue. You can nicely rebuild the gasket losses.
After applying, smooth it with your fingers and water - only in rubber gloves because it is difficult to clean.
When water leaks inside, use a silicone gun and press it between the seal and the glass.

Great ideas, thank you.
