Thanks for that I did wonder if they were the same but with a different rack. I don't know why Volvo say they are different screens. I did contact Brook House who were very helpful too, can't remember though if I asked them if the screens were the same as the 240. Their part numbers were different too.
Good to know the screens are the same

the screens probably have different part numbers because they could have different tint combinations for the 262. or if they are the same screen as the 200 series cars and that means they fit the 100 series too they should be dead cheap because of huge production runs over a long time.

it's most likely that the different part number is linked to a different price on the parts system so volvo can charge a "premium" (way more expensive) price for them or they are actually a slightly different shape.

There is 2 different tints, one band across the top of the screen and one full tint which would account for the 2 part numbers.
I think I might look for a 100 series screen and compare it with the 262 screen....

Both front and rear screens are out, screen frame cleaned up, what awful stuff that elasticated mastic is, never come across anything so wicked and gooey and sticky in all my life. Now cleaning this off the glass
