Small cracks or chips
Small windshield cracks or chips can quickly spread, turning it from minor to severe damage. Contact an authorized Volvo workshop if you notice glass damage. Repair the windshield as soon as possible.
Important
Camera and sensor area
- Any windshield damage in this area requires inspection by a service technician.
- Volvo recommends not repairing small damage in the camera and sensor area. Instead, the entire windshield should be replaced.
Severe glass damage
If the windshield suffers severe damage, the entire glass panel needs to be replaced.
Warning
Compromised safety
Do not drive the vehicle if there is structural damage to the windshield. Weakened glass can degrade very quickly, impair visibility and seriously compromise safety.
Note
Compatibility of new windshield
It's important that the new windshield and its installation meet Volvo's specifications for safety and compatibility with the vehicle's features.
Calibration
When a windshield is installed, the forward-facing camera behind the glass requires function checks and calibration by a service technician to ensure that it works correctly.
