The Volvo C70 was produced from 1997 to 2013, spanning two distinct generations that shaped its glass specification. Early models carried straightforward laminated windscreens with simple gasket seals, while later C70s from the mid-2000s onwards introduced green-tinted glass as standard and increasingly incorporated encapsulated trim as part of the factory specification.
From around 2006 onwards, higher-specification C70s gained solar-control glass to reduce interior heat and glare — a feature found on roughly two-thirds of models in the current catalogue. Some variants also feature a rain sensor for automatic wiper activation, though this remains less common across the range.
