Volvo Sunroof Shade Hardware - Genuine Volvo 31278372

Product Information

A sunroof cover, also called a sunshade, is the sliding panel located beneath a vehicle’s sunroof or moonroof. It is usually made of fabric or a rigid material and is designed to block sunlight, reduce heat inside the cabin, and provide privacy when the glass roof is not in use. The cover can be manually operated in some vehicles, while in others it is electrically powered to move in sync with the sunroof. Beyond comfort, it also helps protect the interior materials from UV fading and excessive heat buildup.

• Difficulty opening or closing, including sticking, misalignment, or complete jamming.
• Sagging fabric, tears, or discoloration that reduce effectiveness and appearance.
• Rattling or loose movement while driving due to worn tracks or broken clips.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
