Windscreen leaking

    The windscreen in my car has started leaking across the top when there'e heavy rain, to the extent that there are drops of water running down the inside of the glass and even small pools of water around the gearstick. Is it possible to get the screen re-sealed properly and if so, would anyone recommend a place that can do a good job for not too much money? The car is a Volvo S80, by the way and I'm around the Dublin north and west areas.

    Have windscreen cover on your insurance? - get it re-installed properly.

    Don't want to do that as I already had to make a glass claim this year when the car was broken into....

    If work was carried on the windscreen this year this would be claim against glass company, not your insurance

    If it was a break in I doubt it was the windscreen they broke through.

    Most likely not, however, glass cover on insurance is not for "one piece of glass" per year, its certain amount.
    Insurance company would tell you that, also it should be listed under policy.

    If it was side glass replacement, it could consumed only part of allowance, that mean it might be enough left to cover labor cost refitting glass, once replacement not needed.

    Edit:
    After checking my own policy - unlimited cover and no No Claim bonus effected.
