Auto Glass for Volvo S80
The Volvo S80 is a luxury sedan released by the auto manufacturer from the 1990s through the 2010s. It comes with a turbocharged engine for better performance as well as comfortable seating inside. Volvo and other companies make replacement auto glass that will fit different models.
What types of auto glass can you find?Auto glass comes in a few different styles.
- Door window glass: A number of people looking for Volvo replacement glass need new windows. Door window glass comes in large pieces that are slightly curved to fit inside the door. This type of glass comes in designs suitable for use on the drivers side or passengers side. Youll also find glass made for backseat windows.
- Roof glass: Many Volvo S80 models have a window on the roof that opens to let more light and air into the interior. Replacement roof glass comes in larger pieces that are flatter than other types of glass.
- Quarter window: A quarter window is a type of fixed window that doesnt open. Youll usually find this type of window used in the backseat of an S80.
- Windshield: Cracks can form on your windshield due to flying rocks and other debris. Volvo owners can find replacement windshields in lieu of repairing those cracks or in the case of large, unrepairable cracks and pockmarks.
Not all of the auto glass available will fit with every Volvo S80 luxury model. This is because the vehicle came out in two different generations. The first generation started in 1998 and ran until 2006. Volvo launched the second vehicle generation in 2006 and stopped making the sedan in 2016. The second generation has a sleeker look with a curvy body style as well as an updated interior.
What is aftermarket glass?One decision that you need to make is whether you want to use aftermarket or official glass. Official glass, also called original equipment manufacturer glass, comes directly from Volvo. Aftermarket glass is made by companies not connected to the manufacturer. Some optional aftermarket glass comes unbranded as well.
What is mirror glass?Mirror glass for the S80 is glass that has a reflective surface. These parts come in specific sizes and designs that will fit select areas on your Volvo S80. Volvo makes replacements for your side mirrors as well as your rearview mirror. Side mirrors may come with one larger piece of glass in addition to a smaller piece with a round design. This fits on the surface of the larger mirror and provides further viewability. You can adjust the glass before you drive your sedan to see things behind and around you more clearly.
