I'd be asking for my dealer to ask volvo if they can repair it as a good-will out of warranty repair. That simply should not fail in <3 years no matter the warranty status

 

Our dealer is little i dont know how to say. i asked them how to renew a volvo ID subscription, and didn't gort an answer. so i am not sure if i want to go that route. or let say i would like to find a different route if possible.

 

That's damage.. it wouldn't have ever been covered under warranty, so the timeframe doesn't matter. Never hurts to ask, but it's not really a reasonable request IMO.

I'm pretty sure the seal requires the whole headliner to be removed, and that can be damaged in the process as well as being a bit of a PIA from what I've seen. I would expect it to be a pretty involved/not fun process. Someone with VIDA can probably get the instructions printed out for you.

 

Honestly it may be easier to find black industrial outdoor tape cut it to fit and run with that vs tearing the car apart to replace it all

 

I did check with our service team and they confirmed it's a headliner removal job. Not that it can't be DIY but it's not gonna be a fun one. Might be one to bite the bullet on or do like @O-Deer said and hack job it.

 

thank you @DFrantz .
ok, remove whole headliner don' t sounds fun. so i will go with a patch route till it is not 100% necessary.

Thanks again to all.

 

Good automotive sealant might also be a great idea. Just clean, clean, clean again, the rubber first.
FWIW, (TEST THIS FIRST/Practice) a good tip if you use something like black silicone, put a small amount of silicone over all you want covered. Then give it a spray with Windex. Then your finger will glide right over the silicone, spreading/smoothing it, but not sticking to your finger making a mess.
I learned that trick many, many, moons ago working at an engineering firm (AEG Westinghouse) sealing electrical cabinets, and have used it since.

 

I’m for the tape/patch repair too. On my 2020 V60 I found the ends separating on the gaskets. I used a bit of regular electrical tape more than a year ago, it’s still there. Your tear is much bigger, so maybe a bit of foam filler before using the tape.

 

Wow that is crazy that these gaskets are failing after only a few years. I wonder if there is a rubber treatment that could be applied periodically to extend the lifespan, like a silicone spray or something like that.

Removing a headliner in a S60 means rear glass removal most likely (I'm assuming that the part is the same as the V60, along with the possible problem point), that would be a really expensive job out of warranty since the glass may not survive removal.

Well this is a case of damage, not really failure. The only reason the glass comes out on the S60 is to have room to get the headliner out... not the case for wagons and SUVs. It's not uncommon on sedans.

 

This is not the same but related: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10212893-9999.pdf
I can't lookup the instructions.

 

Yeah, something's going on there if the underside of the sliding portion of the roof caused that damage - need to get that fixed first.

 

I just looked at mine (2020 V60) to see what might have caused the damage to the gasket. I saw that the moving glass panel has a channel that hangs down and actually compresses the spongy rubber part of the gasket (what is torn in the photo) as it slides back. I was surprised to see it designed this way. I can now understand how the damage can occur. Rubber exposed to the sun over time will dry out and get hard. I assume that this compressing and releasing of an aged rubber gasket could cause it to crack, even tear.

My car was on the lot for about 6 months before I bought it, but in my garage since then. Since I've owned it since February 2021 and I've used SOS 303 rubber treatment on all the rubber parts of the car. My gasket is nice and soft, like it is suppose to be. I would recommend everyone to do the same on their car if they park it outside in the sun, or plan to keep the car for a long time.

Absolutely, I will be doing this on my S60 starting now.

 

Oh, on that note, you might not want to use tape or a filler to repair the gasket. I don't think it would work well, might even damage the sunroof even more if it caused it to bind up.

 

Honestly I wish the panoramic roof was fixed glass like the C40. I don’t like opening the roof anyway, and it seems like it’s such a common problem spot with the drain issues and the squished/torn gasket and all that.

 

That seal shrunk on my V60. You do not have to remove the headliner to replace it. Put the front portion of the glass in “vent.” Open the shade fully. Behind the rubber strip on the inside of the car, there are three torx screws on either side of the rear portion of the glass. Remove those screws and then carefully remove the glass. Replacement of the seal itself is pretty straightforward. Clean the adhesive residue from the front of the glass very well before installing the new seal.

 

Sounds great! Is there a part number for the seal?

 

great info. thank you for that useful information.
I suppose that this is a seal.
