Some Volvo XC60 owners report experiencing windshield leak issues, particularly during rain, which are attributed to a failed primer on the glass. This problem often manifests as water entering the interior on the driver's side, especially into the upper light console, due to a compromised seal at the top of the windshield. Repair attempts have included brushing in glass primer and applying proper windshield adhesive to the affected areas. Notably, these leaking windshields appear to be more common in the 2009 to 2013 models compared to the 2014 to 2017 models. Owners encountering this issue are advised to file a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to encourage a potential recall by Volvo, underscoring the necessity of addressing the failed primer issue to prevent further leaks and maintain vehicle integrity.
