What owners wrote

Volvo xc60 glass bonding defect. Whenever water from rain hits the windshield water runs down the interior of the glass inside the vehicle. The bonding material has eroded and glass can be pushed out of the frame with my fingers. The leak has expanded to encompass the passenger side. There is concern the entire windshield will disengage from the frame. I have consulted a windshield replacement company who have confirmed that the bonding material is eroded.

When raining outside water drops inside on the driver from the top of the windshield above the steering wheel . This just started on a 7.5 year old car but with only 47,850 miles. This is a safety issue because the driver is getting wet and is totally distracted and, if ignored, the body will rust, loosening the windshield.. The car cannot be safely driven in the rain with this leak and it cannot be left outside at all if there is any chance of rain, unless the windshield is covered with plastic.
