Viviana Dreaded windshield leak on 2012 C30. Began with a few little drips from top seal in the touchless car wash, now like a small tap turned on. Glass flexes when pushed. Will replace with OE glass at my local Instant Windscreen. $750. O’Brien Glass quoted almost $1000. Should I insist on OE adhesive/sealant?
ramrod Buy yourself a lottery ticket. The windscreen installer should know the best materials to use, if any problem in the future you have a warranty.
Ex850R Original equipment one is way better. Make sure they use volvo approved sealant or trouble....
Viviana Yes. I don’t want to keep going back for fixes.Ex850R;c-146715 wroteOriginal equipment one is way better. Make sure they use volvo approved sealant or trouble....
Philia_Bear Volvo glass with whatever sealant the reputable glass guy wants to use and warranty The aftermarket glass is good but just a bit thinner and let's in more road noise
carnut222 Definitely go genuine windscreen. I notice more road noise in my C30 after having screen replaced due to rock damage. I asked Shannons to put a genuine one in but they said no. Not a happy about that!
Viviana Yeah, my insurance will pay for after market glass only. I love my car too much for that, so Volvo glass it is paid out of my own pocket!
