Windows, general

The windows are tinted and relatively thick to reduce the sound levels in the car.

  • Standard 4 mm
  • Laminated 5 mm.

The side windows on the XC90 are also laminated (anti smash and grab windows) to provide greater protection against break-ins. This option is market dependent.

Power windows are standard.

PUR bonded windows give the body torsional rigidity, which has a positive impact on:

  • Handling and collision safety
  • Driving comfort
  • Reducing rattles and squeaks
  • It also reduces the risk of resonance from the driveline and suspension when cornering.

NOTE: When replacing the rear windshield, ensure that that the PUR adhesive or primer does not come into contact with the electrical loops for the heated rear windshield.

Cover panel

The cover panel for the antenna module (ATM) is at the rear edge of the roof.

The cover panel is made of plastic.

The cover panel is bonded to the roof using PUR adhesive.
