The Volvo S80 was in production for almost 20 years and was a relative success for the Swedish company. It was only when the model was no longer made that a lot of interest in the model, which is praised for its Scandinavian solidity and affordable luxury, a combination Volvo is more often credited with. Do you have a Volvo S80 with a chipped windscreen, or do you have your eye on a used S80 with a chip or crack in the window and need a car window replacement? Then you will always find automotive glass with the best value for money with us.
Before we look at windscreen replacement, let's give the special Volvo S80 the space it deserves.
Initially, the first generation was available with four different engines, but this range would (fully in Volvo's style) be continually expanded to capture a wider market share.
At the same time, Volvo also raised the bar even higher, for example by adding adaptive cruise control to the arsenal, along with brake assist and a blind spot information system. This made the second generation of the Volvo S80 even more luxurious, which should allow Volvo to gain space on the more luxurious brands in the market segment, which mainly include Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
We can't call the Volvo S80 a resounding success, especially since most of the 15,000 units on Dutch soil were sold by dealers in the introduction year. At the same time, this is a more luxurious car that did not come with the estate version, which is precisely what makes Volvo models so popular in Europe and the United States. We should also add that the S80 still gets a lot of attention and praise on the used market.
By the way, the omission of the estate version was a conscious decision. After all, Volvo already had the Volvo XC60 and the third-generation Volvo V70 on the market and did not want to provide its own models with additional competition (yet again).
What is striking about Volvo and promotional material is that it is an incredible love-hate relationship. In one of the commercials, Volvo managed to create a complete James Bond-style action story, but seems to have forgotten to pay attention to the car to sell the product. The advert below is the television spot for the second generation of the S80 and was aired in 2008.
Do you notice that the windscreen has been damaged in a car park or does a pebble splash against the windscreen causing a chipped windscreen while driving? All forms of car damage are annoying, but in the case of a chipped windscreen, it is good to first take a critical look at the location and extent of the damage to your windscreen.
The windscreen should be replaced when the damage is in the driver's field of vision and involves a chip at least 20 millimetres in diameter or a branched crack. In all other cases, the windscreen does not need to be replaced and you can continue driving with a chip or crack in the glass.
With us, you can find a new Volvo S80 windscreen for as little as €339. You won't find these cheap car windows at your Volvo dealer, while the quality of our automotive glass is identical to Volvo brand windscreens. This is all to do with the brand logo present in the windscreens at your dealer. Our after market windscreens do not have this brand logo, making our automotive glass non-exclusive, while in most cases it is even made in the same factories.
Did you know that the difference is so great that most original second-hand windscreens for Volvo models are still more expensive than our brand new ones? With that, you can be sure that with us you are always choosing the best value for money.
Unless you are very experienced in windscreen replacement, we strongly advise against replacing the windscreen yourself. A windscreen replacement is work for a specialist, who knows exactly how to disassemble and fitting windows to achieve the best effect and ensure your safety while driving.
Are you a car window replacement specialist or do you have a garage? Then you can simply order the new automotive glass from us without fitting. We cooperate with a variety of garages that are very satisfied with our after market car windows and our service.
If you don't want or can't replace the windscreen yourself, we will completely relieve you. To offer you the best service, we work together with certified fitting partners who replace automotive glass on location throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. It does not matter to them whether you are at home or at work, as long as they can get to the car to replace your Volvo S80 windscreen.
When ordering your new windscreen, you can immediately specify the time frame within which you want the new windscreen in the car. In most cases, this is already possible within two working days.
