What changes the price for a Volvo 240
- OEM vs. aftermarket glass. Aftermarket windshields are usually the cheaper option for a 240; what OEM, OEE and aftermarket glass actually cost shows the typical gap.
- Body style. Different body styles use different glass: in the recent quotes, 4 Door Station Wagon versions were quoted $260 and 4 Door Sedan versions $251–$259.

Volvo 240: repair or replace?
A chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than about three inches can usually be repaired — faster and far cheaper than a full replacement. Replacement is the safer choice when the damage is longer than a dollar bill, sits in the driver’s line of sight, reaches the edge of the glass (which weakens the whole windshield), or goes through both layers. A qualified shop can confirm which option your Volvo 240 qualifies for.
Does insurance cover a Volvo 240 windshield?
Whether insurance covers your Volvo 240 windshield depends on your comprehensive coverage and deductible. A few states require insurers to waive the glass deductible entirely, and some insurers waive it for small chip repairs. See our guides to states with zero deductible for comprehensive glass claims and states with glass endorsement coverage to check the rules in your state.
