Oh. Yes.

The FW404 technically is a duplicate of the windshield supplied to a 240 (and I think 1-series too) through 1990. In '91, the metal trim was gone and rubber trim glued to the window's edge is provided on the FW667. It also has a "frit," I think it is called -- a pattern of black spots in the area where the adhesive seal is placed to match the pinchweld. If you look at that link I gave, buried is a link to a glass forum post entitled "Volvo Hack Job" http://pub24.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2036554146&frmid=6&msgid=850522&cmd=show providing the glass-guy point of view.

TLDR: FW404 75-90, FW667 91-93, but the 667 will fit all despite what the glass outfits will claim, though some Volvo people claim the rubber trim on some of the replacements is not wide enough and will replace it separately.

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
