Future Searcher,

1997 960 Wagon (965) / V90 left rear quarter glass with in-glass antenna. I initially ordered $165 installation of aftermarket glass without antenna. Installer brought just glass, but found that the rubber that holds the trim pieces is permanently glued to the glass and cannot be reused. Local Ohio dealer ordered two different part numbers, but neither was right. Design changed for last 6 digits of VIN after 033xxx, but dealer catalogue is still unclear. Even the North America warehouse guy in Rutherford, NJ said there was no such thing.
George from Volvo of Keene saved the day. I got Part Number 9447546. The picture shows a thicker line outlining the glass and the description included “per glue”. The glass included the rubber, clips to install the trim, and in-glass antenna.
Installation was trivial with fast-dry Urethane. Install the upper (body color) trim first by sliding the clips with a small screwdriver from the edge. I used a little extra urethane at the top-rear corner since that is where the roof gutter drains. The bottom trims just presses in. Total cost about $450 sounds high, but I was starting to panic.

Can you use the piano wire trick of feeding a wire through the bond, then slicing it along the length of the bond through back and forth sawing motion?

Hello, I have that glass. I will look and see how hard it is to remove. I can't believe its that hard a job. I have done several 960 wagons and it takes about an hour from start to finish to replace. I can also check my local supplier Monday. Pauli

I've not tried them yet but Tasca Volvo has the lowest online prices I've seen.

I found a rear quarter glass listed for $400 or so I believe. Not sure if it's the right item as it's same price as the right.

Good Luck,

I have a 1997 965 too. The thought of having to replace that LR cargo glass worries me. At some time that cost could exceed the value of the car!!

What would happen if you replaced the LR glass with a RR glass? Looks to me like it ought to fit, except for the loss of the in-glass antenna.

About that - look at the left rear above the top of the "D" pillar. My 965 has a little square thing that looks like the sort of gadget that Volvo uses to cover a hole that was used by some earlier model. I think it is the location of the power antenna used on 745 or 945 or earlier 965 cars.

Seal bonded to glass?? Sounds like the moon roof deal. Bad seal = leaks = new roof = $900 + labor. Urk urk.

Somebody knows what outfit makes that glass. Maybe some of our European or UK friends can check it out.

Good Luck,

Bob
