• Green23

  2008–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on every one of the 23 windscreen variants we list; model years 2008–2026.

  What it means

  A subtle green tint in the glass, almost invisible to the eye but present on 96% of XC60 windscreens.

  On your Volvo XC60

  Look carefully at the glass when light passes through it — a faint greenish hue confirms the tint. Confirmed during your online quote.

• Vin Notch23

  2008–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on every one of the 23 windscreen variants we list; model years 2008–2026.

  A printed VIN reference box along the bottom edge of your windscreen helps identify your vehicle's chassis number at a glance.

  What it means

  A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) notch is a small printed or etched box positioned along the lower edge of the windscreen that displays your vehicle's chassis number. This reference marking is a manufacturing and administrative feature, allowing quick visual identification of the vehicle without needing to consult documents. It's particularly useful for service records, insurance claims, and vehicle registration purposes. The notch itself doesn't affect the structural integrity or safety performance of the glass.

  How to tell

  Look along the bottom edge of your windscreen — typically in one of the lower corners — for a small rectangular box containing printed digits or characters. If you're uncertain, check your vehicle's service handbook or ask your dealership or service centre to confirm whether your model includes this feature.

  Replacement impact

  When your windscreen is replaced, the new glass will retain the VIN notch printed or etched by the manufacturer. This is a standard feature on replacement windscreens for compatible vehicles and requires no additional work or adjustment. The notch does not affect glass fitting, cure time, or any post-replacement calibration procedures.

• Rain Sensor19

  2008–2026No calibration after replacement

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 19 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (83%); model years 2008–2026; no calibration after replacement.

  What it means

  Automatic wiper activation when rain is detected on the windscreen — a common feature across most XC60 models.

  On your Volvo XC60

  Check your wiper stalk: if wipers activate automatically in light rain, you have a rain sensor. Confirmed during the quote process.

• LIDAR16

  2008–2026Bespoke calibration

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 16 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (70%); model years 2008–2026; bespoke calibration.

  What it means

  A laser-based sensor integrated with Volvo's road-assistance systems — part of the IntelliSafe suite on newer XC60s.

  On your Volvo XC60

  LIDAR is present on most XC60s from the mid-2010s onwards as part of Pilot Assist and advanced safety packs. Confirmed during your quote.

• Acoustic (Noise reduction)11

  2017–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 11 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (48%); model years 2017–2026.

  What it means

  An acoustic interlayer reduces cabin noise from wind and traffic — a premium trim option on many XC60 variants.

  On your Volvo XC60

  Look for the word 'Acoustic' or 'SoundScreen' printed in one of the four corners of the windscreen, or an ear symbol. Confirmed during your quote.

• Camera11

  2008–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 11 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (48%); model years 2008–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  What it means

  A forward-facing mono camera mounted behind the windscreen, typically near the rear-view mirror, supporting lane-keeping and collision-avoidance systems.

  On your Volvo XC60

• Dynamic Camera Calibration Process8

  2008–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 8 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (35%); model years 2008–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  Dynamic calibration uses road driving to recalibrate your camera after windscreen replacement.

  What it means

  Dynamic camera calibration is a procedure in which a technician drives the vehicle on marked roads at set speeds after the windscreen has been fitted and the adhesive has cured. During this drive, the forward-facing camera relearns its reference points — lane markings, road signs, road edges and surrounding traffic patterns — so it can resume accurate operation of camera-dependent safety and driver-assistance systems. This recalibration is necessary because any windscreen replacement, even with precision fitting, can introduce small shifts in the camera's optical alignment relative to the road.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook or contact your dealer to confirm whether your car has a forward-facing camera system. If it does, ask the dealer whether your specific model requires dynamic (road-drive) or static (target-board) calibration after windscreen replacement. You can also ask your fitter — they will establish this when they look up your vehicle's specification.

  Replacement impact

  After your windscreen is fitted and the bonding has cured, a technician will drive the vehicle on marked roads at controlled speeds to allow the camera to relearn its environment. This extends the overall job duration beyond the glass-fitting time alone. Depending on your vehicle, calibration may be performed during the same visit or scheduled separately. We confirm the exact procedure and location (mobile or workshop) when we look up your specific vehicle.

• Mono Camera8

  2008–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 8 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (35%); model years 2008–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  A single camera mounted near the rear-view mirror that helps with lane-keeping and collision avoidance.

  What it means

  A mono camera is a single-lens camera positioned behind the windscreen, typically in the upper centre area near the rear-view mirror. It captures the road ahead and uses computer vision to detect lane markings, vehicles, and road hazards. The camera feeds data to driver-assistance systems such as lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. It forms the visual foundation of these safety features, allowing the vehicle to monitor road position and surrounding traffic automatically.

  How to tell

  Look in the black trim area above the windscreen, centred behind the rear-view mirror — you will see a small triangular lens assembly or dark lens cover. Check your vehicle handbook or ask your dealer's service department to confirm your model has lane-assistance or collision-warning features; vehicles with these systems almost always have a mono camera. Dashboard warning symbols related to lane or collision systems also indicate the presence of this camera.

  Replacement impact

  When the windscreen is replaced, the camera bracket and lens assembly must be removed and carefully repositioned on the new glass. The camera may require calibration after fitting to ensure accurate road detection and lane recognition. Calibration needs vary by vehicle — we confirm the exact procedure when we look up your specific vehicle. The job may take longer than a standard windscreen replacement, and workshop facilities may be required if calibration demands a controlled environment.

• Bracket For Safety Features7

  2008–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 7 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (30%); model years 2008–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  The moulded trim that surrounds your camera and sensor cluster at the top of the windscreen, typically transferred or supplied with replacement glass.

  What it means

  A bracket for safety features is the moulded plastic or composite shroud that sits at the top of the windscreen, framing and protecting the camera and sensor cluster mounted behind the rear-view mirror. This trim cover houses forward-facing driver-assistance cameras and sensors — equipment that monitors the road ahead for lane-keeping, collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and similar safety functions. The bracket itself is part of the vehicle's structural frame, but the trim cover you see is what protects and aesthetically integrates the technology into the windscreen area.

  How to tell

  Look at the top centre of your windscreen, just above or around the rear-view mirror. If you see a dark moulded shroud or trim panel — often rectangular or tapered — with a visible lens or sensor window, your vehicle has a bracket for safety features. Your service history or handbook will list any ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technologies fitted. Ask your dealer or service centre if your vehicle has forward-facing cameras or sensors; if it does, you have a bracket for safety features.

  Replacement impact

  On windscreen replacement, the trim cover is typically transferred from your old glass to the new one, or supplied pre-integrated with the replacement depending on the variant. This means minimal disruption to your safety system during the swap. However, if the bracket requires recalibration after glass replacement — which depends on your specific vehicle and camera type — the job may require static calibration (using a target board) or dynamic calibration (a road drive). We confirm the exact calibration procedure when we look up your vehicle.

• GPS6

  2017–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 6 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (26%); model years 2017–2026.

  GPS antenna built into the windscreen connects your sat-nav to satellite signals for reliable navigation.

  What it means

  A GPS antenna is laminated into the windscreen glass during manufacture, providing a direct aerial connection for your vehicle's satellite-navigation system. This integrated design offers better signal reception than external antennas and a cleaner aesthetic. The antenna print and electrical connector are engineered into the glass itself, allowing the navigation receiver to lock onto GPS satellites without interference from the vehicle's metal body or other components.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealership service centre whether your windscreen carries an integrated GPS antenna. You won't see obvious external aerials or connectors on the glass itself — the antenna is laminated internally. If your sat-nav works reliably without a visible roof-mounted antenna, it's likely GPS-equipped.

  Replacement impact

  Replacement windscreens with GPS antennas must be sourced as OEM (original-equipment) glass to preserve navigation functionality. The antenna print pattern and electrical connector are specific to your vehicle's sat-nav system. Aftermarket glass without the antenna print will not support GPS reception. We confirm OEM availability when you book; lead times may be slightly longer than standard glass.

• Heated Windscreen6

  2012–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 6 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (26%); model years 2012–2026.

  What it means

  A mesh of thin heating wires embedded in the windscreen to rapidly demist and defrost in cold weather — typically found on higher-spec XC60s.

  On your Volvo XC60

  A heated windscreen is standard on premium or top-tier trims; check your vehicle's feature list or confirmed at quote.

• Heat Absorbing PVB5

  2017–2026

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 5 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (22%); model years 2017–2026.

  Heat-absorbing PVB interlayer reduces solar gain and cabin temperature on warm days—but must match your original spec.

  What it means

  Heat-absorbing PVB is a specially formulated interlayer sandwiched between the glass plies in your windscreen. It absorbs a portion of the sun's infrared radiation before it enters the cabin, reducing solar heat gain on warm days. This keeps the interior cooler and reduces air-conditioning workload. The feature is built into the glass during manufacture and cannot be added or removed after production. If your vehicle left the factory with this interlayer, any replacement windscreen must carry the same PVB specification to maintain the original thermal performance.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook—heat-absorbing PVB is listed under windscreen or glass specification. You can also ask your dealership service centre or provide us with your vehicle registration; we'll confirm whether your car came with this feature as standard or as an option.

  Replacement impact

  Replacement windscreens with heat-absorbing PVB must be sourced to the exact OE specification—aftermarket alternatives with standard PVB will not deliver the same solar-control performance. We ensure the correct spec is ordered before the fit. No calibration is required. Installation and cure procedures are identical to standard windscreen replacement; the interlayer is integral to the glass and requires no additional treatment.

• Light Sensor4

  2008–2017

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 4 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (17%); model years 2008–2017.

  Light sensors automatically turn your headlights on at dusk or in tunnels; the replacement windscreen must include the sensor bracket.

  What it means

  A light sensor is a small optical detector mounted on the windscreen or dashboard that monitors ambient light levels. When light drops below a threshold—at dusk or when entering a tunnel—it triggers your headlights to switch on automatically. This removes the need to manually operate the lights and improves safety by ensuring visibility when conditions darken suddenly. The sensor is typically mounted behind the windscreen's top edge or integrated into the interior mirror housing, where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealer whether your car has automatic headlight control or 'auto lights' as a feature. If equipped, you'll see a symbol on the stalk or dashboard dial marked with a light-bulb icon or 'AUTO' setting. When you select this mode and the ambient light dims, the headlights activate without manual input. Not all cars have this feature; it's typically found on newer or higher-specification models.

  Replacement impact

  When replacing a windscreen on a vehicle with a light sensor, the replacement glass must include the correct sensor bracket or mounting point to preserve the auto-headlight function. The sensor itself does not require software calibration—it relies on physical positioning behind the windscreen's upper trim or within the mirror assembly. Ensuring the bracket is correctly installed during the fit is essential; if omitted, the auto-light feature will fail and cannot be restored without additional parts and labour.

• HUD - Head Up Display3

  2017–2026No calibration after replacement

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 3 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (13%); model years 2017–2026; no calibration after replacement.

  A Head-Up Display projects your speed, navigation cues and key alerts onto the windscreen so you can read them without looking down.

  What it means

  A Head-Up Display (HUD) projects driving information — speed, navigation cues, ADAS alerts — onto the windscreen in your line of sight, so you can read it without taking your eyes off the road. The projector is mounted in the dashboard and shines the image upwards onto a special HUD-compatible windscreen that uses a wedge-shaped laminate to prevent a ghost image. Common on premium and sports models, increasingly standard on mid-range cars from the 2020s onwards.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's specification sheet or handbook under 'display features' or 'HUD'. Look for a small projector unit mounted on the dashboard, typically below the steering wheel or in the instrument cluster area. When you start the vehicle, a bright image should appear on the lower windscreen area. Your dealer's service centre can confirm whether your specific model and trim level includes a HUD.

  Replacement impact

  Your replacement windscreen needs to be HUD-compatible — built with the correct wedge laminate so the projected image stays sharp and double-free. Once the HUD-compatible glass is fitted, the projector itself typically doesn't need recalibration: image position is user-adjustable via your dashboard controls. We confirm your vehicle uses the HUD-compatible windscreen variant when ordering, so the replacement matches the original.

• Sensor Heated Zone3

  2017–2026Calibration varies by vehicle

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 3 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (13%); model years 2017–2026; calibration varies by vehicle.

  Heated zones around sensors prevent frost and moisture buildup, helping your safety systems work reliably.

  What it means

  A sensor heated zone is an electrical heating element integrated into or around camera, radar, or sensor mounts on the windscreen. Its purpose is to prevent frost, ice, condensation, and moisture accumulation on sensor lenses and housings. This keeps safety systems — such as lane-keeping assist, collision warning, and adaptive cruise control — functioning accurately in cold, wet, or foggy conditions. Without this heating, moisture or ice can obscure sensors and cause them to malfunction or deactivate.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook for mention of 'heated sensor zone' or 'sensor heating' in the windscreen or ADAS section. Look at the top edge of your windscreen where cameras or radar modules are mounted — you may see small heating elements or wiring near these components. Ask your dealership or service centre directly: they can confirm whether your specific model includes sensor heating as standard.

  Replacement impact

  Windscreens with heated sensor zones require careful handling during replacement to preserve the heating element and its electrical connections. The heating circuit must be reconnected properly after the new glass is fitted. Depending on the vehicle, this may involve static or dynamic camera calibration after installation. We confirm the exact procedure — including any calibration needs — when we look up your vehicle details.

• Static Camera Calibration Process1

  2017–2026Static calibration required

  On the Volvo XC60: fitted on 1 of the 23 windscreen variants we list (4%); model years 2017–2026; static calibration required.

  Static calibration uses printed targets indoors to align your forward-facing camera after windscreen replacement.

  What it means

  Static camera calibration is a procedure in which a forward-facing camera system is realigned using printed target boards positioned at manufacturer-specified distances and heights in front of the vehicle. The vehicle remains stationary indoors throughout. A diagnostic tool reads the camera's view of these targets and adjusts the camera's alignment to factory specification. This ensures the camera can accurately detect road features, lane markings, pedestrians, and other objects — critical for driver-assistance systems like lane-keeping, collision warning, and adaptive cruise control to function safely and reliably.

  How to tell

  Check your vehicle's handbook or ask your dealer's service centre whether your car has a forward-facing camera system that requires calibration after windscreen replacement. Look for driver-assistance features like lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control on the dashboard menu.

  Replacement impact

  When a windscreen with an integrated or bracket-mounted camera is replaced, the camera's alignment can shift. Static calibration realigns the camera using indoor target boards, which must be performed in a workshop environment where printed targets can be positioned and secured at precise distances. This procedure is conducted after the windscreen is fitted and bonded. The workshop booking accommodates the additional time required for calibration, and we apply the no-split policy — both replacement and calibration happen at the same location on the same visit.
