Windscreen leak and screen broke during removal
I was advised that the windscreen had 2 stone chips when the inspect it before the repair. I gave the go ahead as this not constitute a cracking unless you tell me it does?

have a look at it , if the crack comes from the stone chip which is a weak spot then yes they can not guarantee it. But if the crack comes from the edge and goes no where near the stone chips it is not the stone chips which caused the break/crack ...

Couldnt you let your insurance company sort this out with them.

Windscreen leak and screen broke during removal
The insurance company would pay if the windscreen breaks during the repair from an authorised volvo technicians and also the bonding is something which the insurance classifies as wear and tear. Update from the technician the windscreen broke due to the wire cutting through the glue and not because of stonechips in the screen. Need to speak to volvo uk again and claim their inability to do the repair which I am liable for. The laugh is uk office is currently closed at 1429 Wednesday afternoon and quoting their opening hours are 9-5 mo to Friday.

I'd agree with Clan. I've seen a technician do it while I watched closely and the wire does not stress the glass at all because it is not pulling on it but just sliding through a thick layer of adhesive. Once the adhesive is cut the glass is quite loose.

I had mine done last month and the dealer was not confident that it could be done without breakage occurring as two others that had been done recently had broken. The dealer was only prepared to do it if I paid for the windscreen if it did break though my insurance company stated that they would pay if it broke so I gave them the go-ahead.
However it went without mishap thankfully and it cost me nothing as Volvo met the cost. Anyway, after having had the screen replaced I noticed a slight water mark on the head lining. I am not sure of the best way of cleaning this. Any advice on tackling this would be most welcome, thanks.
