I have now had a reply from Volvo saying that as the car is outwith warranty they will not help. I cannot be bothered pursuing a case against the dealer from whom I bought the car. Have written Volvo again as this local Volvo dealer will not give me an assurance that he will accept responsibility if he breaks the windscreen when taking it out to reseal it; he expects me to carry the risk. I am in no hurry to get the windscreen fixed so will keep writing etc.. If no success will buy car body sealer (clear) from my local Dingbro car maintenance parts shop. Thanks to all.
I have a Volvo V50 and it is now 3 years old. When I pressure wash the roof there is slight leak of water into the top edge of the windscreen, no leak in normal running despite heavy rain. It is not enough to bother me but my Volvo dealer tells me that to remove and reseal the windscreen will cost £80. That would be OK but they also say that if it cracks when they are removing it the cost of a new screen will be £450, the risk will be mine! Rather than take the chance I am wondering if there is any sealing fluid that I can apply to the top of the windscreen. It is the usual modern pressed in type with a narrow gap along the edges. Does anyone know of a sealing compound that would do the job? Thank you
