2012 Volvo XC60 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“The vehicle's windshield has been leaking water through the top of the dashboard. When it rains, the windshield leaks all over.

If this continues I'm afraid someone driving could loose visibility if its raining. Even through the carwash this Volvo models leak water. Something needs to be done.”

Sales said this model has this problem all the time. Interesting conflict... …”
