VOLVO LEAKING WINDSCREEN - FIX!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this video, learn how to easily fix a leaking windscreen on your Volvo without removing it. By back sealing along the top of the windscreen from the inside of the vehicle, you can avoid the risk of the windscreen breaking during removal and resealing.
This is a common issue with Volvo cars, in my opinion the factory often fails to apply primer to the top of the windscreen. Over time, this can cause the glass to detach and allow for significant water ingress.
Follow along as I walk you through the steps to fix this issue and keep your Volvo dry And remember, when applying the bond, make sure it is warm to make the application and smoothing process easier.

Thank you from Australia. This will save a bomb.
Awesome! Having the same issue with a C30. Thank you for the great video and explanation.
good fixin. i saved quite money🙂 sometime the camera doesn't point correctly😎
didn't think there were any _real_ mechanics left 👍
Good DIY work~
Great video! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks & No problem.
thank you!
Many thanks for this info
No problem, hope it helps.
Great work! Do you think its possible to fix it from outside?
Possible but i wouldn't recommend it.
Good helpful video! I was planning to do mine but it has city safe and driver alert system. Do you know if it's fairly easy to take that off? Thanks
Hi, you could just leave it on and apply the bond front either side of the wiring.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER Thanks for that, that's what I'll do!
Congrats, I was wondering if I do it from the exterior, poor into the gap without the rubber seal
I wouldn't recommend doing it from the outside, it may fix it but not a technique I would use.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER I done it this afternoon from the outside, will see how it goes, otherwise I will throw an hammer in. It 😅
@@MrTetedefouine I have the same issue, how did you get on mate?
@@grumpymonkey6181 just remove the seal on the top from the outside , remove by sliding up the sides, clean and degrease all and apply some sika 555 and clean it with soappy water 😊
@@MrTetedefouine Thanks!
I just finished this project on my 2008 s80! Question for you: I did this on the passenger side of the windscreen because that's where the leak was... I went pretty far past where the separation seemed to be, but should I do the entire upper edge of the windscreen? I'm curious if doing this would prevent future separation on the driver's side or if that wouldn't really stop the issue from occurring later on. Thanks!
Thanks for this bro!
No problem, I'm just pleased the video is serving its purpose.
You make it look so easy lol. I just gave it a go and it looks like a 2 year olds finger painting hahaha
@B A haha, I know what you mean. The first few I done were pretty messy, but as long as the bond is smeared in with no gaps all the way along, you should be watertight again.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER don't want to jinx myself but it has worked though!
@B A Yes it's pretty full proof when done properly, well done always happy to help 👍
How long does the sealant take to dry?? I followed your vid step by step (cleaning, primer & sealant), but the sealant hasn’t dried yet - still soft. Been over 24hrs…. Your vid helpful BTW!👍
What did you use to seal it? For the amount of Polyurethane required it would be cured after a few hours.
Arbomast Autograde Windscreen Sealing Compound…. used the links on your video. Poured water down the windscreen and it doesn’t seem to go through, but will wait for a rainy day as thats the real test! Any suggestions for another compound?
@@kgrez6111 I haven't put up a direct link for Arbomast, Arbomast is for old style windows where the glass is fitted with a rubber seal which is an oil based putty not for modern windows where the glass is bonded direct to the body. The eBay shop i linked sells both types and details are in the description of the item. I will put up a separate link for correct type of bond so there isn't any confusion
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER Oh dear... start again!! Still, your video is invaluable and a good learning process for anybody who wants to save money, especially now. Kudos, amigo!
@kgrez6111 thanks man, hope you get it sorted, I probably should have put up a separate link, pretty new to this UA-cam stuff.
did this help? Or how long did it last?
What is the product you would recommend for this job? ( don want to buy sh ) :D
Hi, Yes it stopped the leak and I have done dozens for customers over the years and never had any come back. As long as its done properly, it should last for years.
There is a link in the description for windscreen Bond which comes with a small bottle of primer, I use Teroson 60 windscreen adhesive from Hinkel but buy it in bulk as this is my job, you can use any adhesive that is designed specifically for auto glass fitment.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Andy.
Dound what i was looking for. Ive got a 59 plate V50 and the top of the windscreen flexes but not like on the video but it does leak on the driver side top corner and if you tap the screen it sounds hollow. In in North Ayrshire. Whete about are you based and thanks for the video.
Nice one...u ever done renault master/movano? Somewhere water getting in between windscreen and dash...if really heavy can then start tricklong dwn inside and the underlay just soaks it up....hard to see right under lip of winscreen, looks alright but was thinking of putting a nice urethane seal all the way around on outside just to see if that does the trick. Anyway..any thoughts appreciated and appreciate yr video👍
Hi, the first thing you really should do is identify where the leak is coming from. It might not be the windscreen, if it is the windscreen and you can physically see water coming in between glass and body then you may be able to backseal it(ì wouldn't recommend sealing around the outside)failing that I would recommend a remove and reseal by a professional auto glass technician.
The problem with the Volvos is a common known issue along the top edge so backsealing fixes it.
Hope this helps.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER thanks v much...yep tmrw (im in Australia) going to try a few more water tests..thanks again for replying👍
@dal tropical NO problem, hope you get to the bottom of it 🤞
If anyone is out there is a soaked Volvo, you can use a Vornado style heater to dry it out. I'm cursed with this issue, and had some success getting everything dry in about 12 hours.
What do you charge and how long does it take to dry?
I've not got round to doing mine, so considering if its worth me doing a day trip to Scotland
I'm about to attempt this with Sikaflex 258. It's meant to be primerless but I'm confused as to whether I need an activator. Any advice?
Hi, I haven't used sikaflex for many years so I can't really comment on their products but I would recommend using a primer for proper adhesion.
I have a Volvo c30. Twice the Volvo dealer I bought it from have informed me that they have resealed the windscreen. It still leaks.
If it has been resealed by a professional at a dealership and you still have a leak it might not be leaking from the windscreen.
Thank you so much for your reply.really appreciate it. I have taken it twice to the Volvo dealer I bought it from. When I bought the car I had to ask for the loose windscreen to be rebonded before I bought it. It still leaked.4 times I took it back pointing out how damp it was and that water was coming in the drivers side. They then said there was a small hole that had been missed. I was told it was resealed again. Last week water was coming in by the drivers side at the bottom corner. There was also a bit of water coming down the driver's side front pillar. I might just have a new windscreen fitted. I regret buying the car. 😊
Hi there Auto Glazer, could you please tell me if your milwaukee multi tool is a fuel version or just the standard 18v version please? I am interested in trying one out on my windscreen replacements.
Hi Allan, Mine is the standard M18 multi tool, not the fuel.
Thanks.
Andy.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER Cheers Andy, where did you purchase the cut out blades for it and is it the standard nut that you use to hold them with? Ate they equalizer versions and which ones are they you use?
@@allanmachleb3295 I get the blades from my supplier Pilkington or GPAT.co.uk they are Fein blades, my multi tool came with an adapter to use with the blades.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER can you purchase the adapter separately from somewhere in the UK as that would be the hard part.
@@allanmachleb3295 Yes, you will find my business email in my about section on my profile, send me an email and I will send you a link to where to get the adapter & a short video on how to connect it with the blades(i made the video couple of months back for another person asking the same thing)
🎉
it would have been easier to remove the windshield and re-glue it.. Much easier
No it wouldn't.
This would be a good video if the camera work was better. How am I going to repeat this process if I can't see what you're doing?
Yeah like all UA-cam videos its not for everyone, I only started making videos a few months ago. Rome wasn't built in a day. ill be sure to make another one when my point of view skills are better.
@@AUTOGLAZ1ER You did fine!
@@arcadeuk Thanks
How many arms do you have?
@@AUTOGLAZ1ERyou just saved me a fortune, just forget their comment id say they have never made a video, keep up the good work people like you are building such an amazing platform with information like this!
