Windshield OEM KIA or OEM Volvo
Make sure your windshield is Volvo original and not aftermarket.
On my 2005 P2 cars (XC70 and S60R), after multiple issues with aftermarket windshields and rain sensor problems, a Volvo windshield was installed. This resolved the issues, leading the location to change policy to only use Volvo windshields for Volvos.
Pros: resolved rain sensor issues, good quality
Vehicle:
Volvo XC70
We told Safelite it had to be OEM/Volvo windshield due to the vehicle being a lease. We paid our $50 glass deductible and they replaced it with OEM as we requested. They also calibrated everything in house at their shop. Pretty smooth process!
Pros: OEM as requested, smooth process
Vehicle:
Volvo
The EV6 had a cracked windshield when I bought it. Replaced at the dealership.
Pros: replaced at dealership
Cons: cracked windshield
Vehicle:
Kia
I have a similar crack, xc40 recharge. It’s got a bit bigger now and no unfortunately not covered by warranty unless one has purchased the windscreen warranty for $2000 on top of extended warranty and some other warranty, tires perhaps or wheels can’t remember but I declined.
Cons: crack got bigger, not covered by warranty
Vehicle:
Volvo
my 24 v60 windshield cracked twice in a span of first 11 months and 11k mile of ownership. My previous car, I had one chip in 11 years and 132k miles. I wonder if Volvo windshield is weak or I have bad luck.
Cons: cracked twice, weak glass
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Mileage: 11000 km
A pick-up truck with knobby tires kicked up a rock that chipped the windshield of my wife’s brand new Volvo within 30 minutes of her leaving the dealership.
Cons: windshield chipped quickly
Vehicle:
Volvo
One thing I am noticing though on a negative level is a very distinct and rather annoying whistling noise coming from the windshield (center area; rather top section at the level where the rear mirror is) starting at approximately 150kmh. I am driving often on the German Autobahn, the car is specified for high speed also - and I would simply not expect such a distinct whistling noise from a 80.000€ car.
Cons: annoying whistling noise, high speed noise
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
The 2020 and 2021 windshields were utter crap. It was in the materials.
Cons: utter crap materials
Vehicle:
Kia
My 2025 Carnival EX just got a crack and I’ve had it about three weeks. Don’t even remember seeing a rock hit it.
Cons: cracked quickly, fragile
Vehicle:
Kia Carnival
