Hi,
I would agree that generic windshields are just fine. My wife`s 850 wagon is due for glass replacement & we are going generic partly due to cost & we will likely only have the car for another year or so. 35 years with Volvo & we are staying with Volvo(yeh, I know, I know!!!)
Re: Volvo standards. Back in the late 60`s when I was going to college I worked in auto glass factory( Duplate, likely owned by pilkington now)& I recall getting back a shipment of windshields which had been rejected by Volvo. The QC guy & myself started checking the winshields, couldn`t find anything wrong. Then, we got a magnifying glass & sure enuff there were scratches which were almost invisible to the naked eye. WE looked at one another & said"Wow! these Volvo guys are ANAL". Shortly after, I bought my first 544 & have been driving Volvo`s ever since.
Cheers,
Rich
