The plastic cowling at the base of the windshield of my 1990 765 disintegrated while I was replacing the wiper motor. You can see the big crack in the middle of the picture.
I was worried that I would never be able to source a part and would have to deal with the brittle plastic slowly falling apart.
I'm not a fan of "structural" RTV, and didn't want to try to piece it back together with shims and patches.
It turns out 760, 960, and in my case, an S90 cowl will fit.
The S90 cowl was actually an upgrade, since the seal at the base of the windshield is much more secure and less prone to leaking.
TL:DR Thought I would have to live with a broken and shattered windshield cowl, only to discover that the range of parts that would work was much larger.

Old Volvo's, they're a process.
