We recently purchased a 2011 XC60, within one week the water was running down the inside of the windscreen, we took it back to the dealer who had a new screen fitted, it's been fine since....

The V70 went into Lincoln Volvo on Friday morning and
they successfully resealed the windscreen.
The process was problem free and it was very straightforward. Of course, it was without charge. 👍👍

Default Advice Please

Looks like I'm going to be joining this club!

My 2010 XC60 has slight dribble from both sides of the top of the windscreen which I had put down to condensation - no soggy carpets but I fear this is going to get worse.

As volvo seem to be willing to repair the fault for free for some is this down to your relationship with the dealer or VUK.

I ask this because the dealership I used lost the franchise, so other than one service with the new dealer (Stoneacre) I don't have much history with them

Who do I contact first ? dealer or VUK?

Any advice much appreciated.

Contact a dealer first or just pop in and ask them to take a look. They clarify the leak and it is a genuine Volvo screen, they contact Volvo UK for clearance to do the job, finally the dealer calls you to arrange a time to reseal it 😉😉

I recently (November) picked up a very clean 2008 XC70 SE Lux with sunroof. Full service history and everything working as it should, 125,000 miles. Screen is original Volvo. This is my 4th Volvo and 3rd of the V70 series.

Reading this thread and yes, sure enough the screen is not attached at the top! There is no sign of water ingress or moisture, the car is in lovely condition throughout.

Interestingly the maintenance handbook shows regular body and paint checks by Volvo yet they never spotted this.

I have not yet done anything yet, nor contacted VCUK, there are a couple of stone chips in the screen so I'm tempted to simply get it replaced under my insurance. I have seen a couple of comments suggesting that non original screens can be a problem for the rain sensing wipers? Also, is there a screen heating element in these?

thanks

Alistair

Why pay out on your insurance when VCUK will reseal it FOC?😉😉
