Installing windshields

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Position the windshield.

Push against the lower edge of the windshield by hand so that it comes down to the lower spacers.

Place a few strips of masking tape on the windshield and part way over the roof to prevent the pane from sliding down during the curing process.

Press the upper trim strip towards the car body until properly secure.

Leak test 

NOTE: Allow the adhesive to cure so that the window does not change position before installing the components.
