#1 of 3 headlight pitting by eedler Feb 08, 2009 (4:53 am)
Hello everyone, The headlight lenses on my 06' XC90 have developed many scratches and a pitting (almost a mild sand-blast effect) in some spots and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have not had the car into brush or anything else that I can think of that would cause this and I don't see any other cars here with this problem. Volvo says that each lens would cost $1000 to replace so I'd appreciate any ideas or fixes. Thanks Replies to this message: qbrozen (Feb 08, 2009 8:12 am) steve_ (Feb 08, 2009 8:25 am)

Replying to: eedler (Feb 08, 2009 4:53 am) There are products on the market to restore headlight lenses. I suggest going that route and then getting clear film put on to protect them. Replies to this message: steve_ (Feb 08, 2009 8:25 am)
