Damaged windshield

Updated 2024-10-17

It is important to repair a damaged windshield as soon as possible. Minor damage due to e.g. stone chips can often be repaired without replacing the entire windshield. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop if the windshield is damaged.

Minor glass damage

If possible, repair the damage within 24 hours to help prevent it from worsening. If the windshield has minor damage, a windshield stone chip sticker can help protect the damaged area from dust and dirt until it can be repaired.

Major glass damage

In the event of major damage to the windshield, the entire windshield must be replaced.

Warning

Do not drive the vehicle if there is major damage to the windshield. The damage can quickly worsen, obscuring the driver's view and preventing the vehicle from being driven safely.

Replacing a windshield

It is important that the new windshield and its installation comply with Volvo's specifications for safety and compatibility with the vehicle's functions. Volvo recommends contacting an authorized Volvo workshop for windshield replacements.

Windshields in vehicles equipped with head-up displays are specially designed to be able to display the projected image. When replacing the windshield, the right type of glass must be used for the head-up display to function.
