Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 20062006 S60 Windshield replacement
Hi all, My cracked windshield (flying rocks off a dump truck) is about to be replaced. I'm a bit nervous because my car is only 6 months old. Is it a straight forward job to replace the windshield on an S60? What are the things that can go wrong? And how will I know if the glass shop did a good job? Thanks for your advice. Mark I wouldn't worry about it. Modern Volvos tend to be a bit more complicated than other cars but replacing a windshield is pretty straight forward. Are you going for OEM or aftermarket glass? I actually like the aftermarket glass that was installed in my 1999 S70 better than the OEM. The tint across the top is larger and a nicer colour.

I'm going for OEM because the glass shop told me that they may not be able to find aftermarket for my car. My insurance is covering the cost of the replacement so I didn't mind.

After they set the windshield, there is an amount of time that must pass before the car may be safely driven. The windshield provides strength and if it pops out then the roof can cave easier in a rollover.

I just dropped the car off at 9:30am and they said I could pick it up at 3pm the same day. Hope that's enough time?
