07 Jun Volvo windshield position statement — genuine glass and adhesives

Repairer Driven News has reported that Volvo has released a windshield position statement requiring windshield replacements to be carried out according to Volvo standards, including the use of Volvo Genuine Windshields and adhesives.

This sits alongside the wider industry trend of manufacturers issuing more detailed position statements on glass, calibration, ADAS, and occupant protection systems. Windscreens can be relevant to structural performance, airbag performance, camera mounting, driver visibility, and ADAS operation.

Why this matters for Repair Certifiers:

Where windscreen replacement is linked to a repair certification file, particularly where cameras or ADAS functions are involved, the Repair Certifier should consider whether the correct glass, adhesives, installation procedure, calibration, and post-repair checks have been confirmed and documented.
