This morning I used a watering can and soft brush to remove a mass of birdsh*t that nesting Swallows had deposited on the roof of the car immediately above the driver's door, down the window, and some on the windscreen. On getting into the car I discovered that I too have the 'undocumented feature' of the P3 V70 - a leaky windscreen.
There wasn't much water, just a couple of trails down the inside of the screen, hardly enough to register on the duster I used to dry it off.
We've only had the car since February and I've never noticed this before. I wash the car using only the hosepipe to wet it, then bucket and sponge, then hosepipe to rinse, so it seems slightly odd that the leak should manifest itself when only using a watering can.
I've read through the 'Sticky' and various other posts on the topic and it seems to be a lottery whether Volvo show an interest or not.
I haven't tried pushing the screen as I suppose there's a possibility I could make matters worse.
It's a Volvo screen, though I've no way of knowing if it's the original one.
Think I'll monitor it for now.
