Original OEM front windshield developed a leak causing water to start dripping onto my hands on the steering wheel and on my lap during a rainstorm. seems to be numerous accounts of the front windshield bonding failing, definitely can be hazardous when driving in an already higher-risk situation rain causes. Not to mention the dripping runs down the inside of the windshield they don't make windshield wipers for the inside of the car and you have to wipe it away while driving to help with the visibility.

My car has an odor for days after it rains when the windshield streams water above the drivers stearing wheel and also allows water to stream down into the driver's side floor board- it's a full on stream of water that comes out the top corner driver side of the windshield and rolls down over the stearing wheel and drivers hands and down through the drivers floorboard over the accelerator and the drivers feet. I've been in the car during the rain and while at the car wash to witness this streaming of water. There is a 1 to 2 inch puddle of water that forms in the floor board right under the accelerator if left to stream freely. The water does not gush out right away but sometimes will remain dry until moving -has happened at low speeds while pulling out of my driveway but as delayed up TO10 minutes later after I've gotten on the highway where I'm at a speed of @ 70mph) its a huge safety hazard- I have been startled (safety distraction) because of unexpected cold water flooding my foot and my pant leg while on the accelerator.I've spoke to auto glass repair companies, who report several things could be happening but either way, cost me a lot of money while liability is on me if they accidentally crack the good windshield if it isnt a simple seal problem. The majority of windshield repair company's I've spoken to state that they have seen this before in this model vehicle and it has (in thier experience) been a crack in the sunroof drainage system? however, just to test this problem alone is a $400+ in shop diagnostics - I have also read on Volvo forums and on NHTSA, other owners have reported the same issue I'm having. If anything, I wanted to report the issue too in hope of gaining info about what the problem maybe so I can have it fixed in the most efficient and less costly method or may it lead to further investigation to determine recall procedures.

Driver's side windshield is leaking and blocking visibility.

Leaking windshield common on these models. Windshield seal coming loose.

- Burlington, VT, USA

The front windshield (original, factory) adhesive has failed and the windshield is loose. Besides the annoyance of water leaking in, this is a safety issue since the windshield is a structural component which retains the airbags and occupants. This is apparently a fairly common known issue with the factory windshields.
