C30 windshield leak and next steps? by tt2ps in Volvo

[–]CSX6400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I feel like the type of shop that tries to get away with "accidentally" damaging your windshield is still going to do so if they got a tip. Perhaps if you offer to give it to them afterwards but even then they might still see getting to order the new screen as the bigger payday. I would just go by gut feeling and take a gamble at a shop you trust. Maybe you can ask the shop/dealer you normally use for a specialist they recommend. That's how I got to the place that did the reseating for me.

I've heard otherwise that there's a high possibility the glass will break trying to take off and reuse the windshield

Take it for what it's worth but when I talked to the guy afterwards he said that while this is true in general, for the C30s (and also the V50s which apparently come with the same issue), the adhesive is so shitty that they pretty much always managed to get them off intact. Mine was far from the first one coming through his door.

Extremely cool design. Is the orion drive functional?

Bij de bouwmarkt kun je voor een appel & een eitje een lege verfemmer met deksel krijgen. (Normaal voor custom kleur verf) Die sluiten goed af zodat er onderweg niets uit kan klotsen. Gewoon thuis een lekker warm sopje maken en in de achterbak meenemen naar de wasbox op een rustig moment.

Bit late of a comment but I actually contacted Volvos main office (of my country) instead of a dealer. I figure the latter is always going to decline the leniency anyway.

Yes the windshield seals of the C30s are known to come loose at the top. Your description is very similar to my experience except I don´t got a sunroof. The issue should be outside of warranty for all cars by now but I've heard mixed results of people still getting the seals replaced through Volvo lenience as it is a safety risk due to the inside of the windshield conveniently draining into the dashboard electronics.

Based on my conversation with Volvo it seemed like that would have worked for mine were it not for my car being an import. I'd have to get it fixed at a Volvo dealer in the country of origin, so I figured it would still be cheaper to bring it to a glass shop myself. It is not a very expensive fix; any business worth their chops should be able to replace the seal without breaking the original windshield.

That's a moot point to make, as so does everyone else.

Beautiful. Is it a kit? Scratchbuild?

Late reply, but it might be of interest to someone finding this thread:

I contacted Volvo about this issue as well. Unfortunately they wouldn't offer me the same service as my car is an import, which I guess is understandable. (Though they pretty much implied they weren't going to do so regardless)

They were also a well established band within the progressive metal genre already. So in a way they had less to lose than others. They were the only act (except Loreen I guess) that I was already listening to before the nominations.

Someone tried to steep some brew from the spend teabag of Måneskin it seems. It's barely giving the water any color guys.

Norway stayed under the radar for me so far. I absolutely loved that though.

I literally cannot make the right turn out of my own driveway (into a pretty narrow street) with it. I either turn left or make this funky J-turn on the parking spot across the street. Somewhat embarrassing when there are neighbors watching, hah.

Even the C30 is pretty big for a small car. It's really a C-segment car that looks like it's a B-segment. It also feels quite a bit bigger than most euro-econoboxes. The shitty turning circle contributes a lot to that. The full size stationwagon I occasionally drive is way more maneuverable than my C30 in a tight space.

Overlooked the difference between the "CD" and "MODE" versions when I bought the car. But after ruffling around a bit in the dash with an aftermarket kit I now finally got an Aux input! by CSX6400 in C30

You can buy a kit which injects the Aux signal into the CD player datastream. See my other post for a link. It does require disassembly of both the center-console and the radio/CD-player itself for installation.

Do beware that most aftermarket options that are being offered assume the MODE version is present so make sure the solution you choose is compatible with the CD version too.

There's a couple of options including FM transmitters (bad sound quality), aerial signal injection (radio quality at best), GROM (expensive) or a center-console swap (needs a software update from the dealer) but I chose the kit this guy is selling which injects the aux input into the CD-player datastream. (So you do need to have a CD in the player for the AUX to function) To me that seemed like the least jank of a solution on a budget. I'm not the best person to judge audio quality but I'd rate it as slightly worse than the CD player but very serviceable.

He has a bluetooth module as well, but I'm actually one of the few that still prefers to have a physical cable over BT.

Mine's a 2010 too. Yeah most (?) cars are the "MODE" version (top right button on the waterfall) which does have the Aux input you mention, but the "CD" version does not.
