Windshield OEM FORD or OEM Volvo

We love our 24 badlands in eruption green with a black top. It’s been awesome. We got 36,100km on it now. Have had to get an alignment, 1 new windshield, and a new grill because the clip that holds the front camera had broken and a piece fell out. But it’s still awesome.

If you ever need to replace a windshield, spend the extra money and get a ford windshield.

Make sure your windshield is Volvo original and not aftermarket.

Just got mine fixed 2 weeks ago. Initially, it was a small crack in the top-right corner, and it extended gradually until a cold morning like -5 degrees, then it cracked across the whole windshield.

Ford came out today and told me this is normal in every car. I let them know I never had this issue in my Audi.

I have a similar crack, xc40 recharge. It’s got a bit bigger now and no unfortunately not covered by warranty unless one has purchased the windscreen warranty for $2000 on top of extended warranty and some other warranty, tires perhaps or wheels can’t remember but I declined.

my 24 v60 windshield cracked twice in a span of first 11 months and 11k mile of ownership. My previous car, I had one chip in 11 years and 132k miles. I wonder if Volvo windshield is weak or I have bad luck.

A pick-up truck with knobby tires kicked up a rock that chipped the windshield of my wife’s brand new Volvo within 30 minutes of her leaving the dealership.

my ford dealership could not find a chip on the glass. can confirm it was due to the windshield defect - stress crack, they called it (but Ford Canada refuse to see it as a defect i.e. not enough data). my experience with other cars did not have this issue, such as lexus, audi, pontiac, bmw, hyundai etc. others have also reported similar problems with Ford's windshields.

My Bronco will be two years old in January. Its windshield is 3 months old... The windshield before that made it to 6 months old, AND the windshield before that was 3 months old....
