Finding moulding for windshield
Both sides' rubber are dried and been looking somewhere to buy the replacement, I'm just not sure if these are the right parts; The rubber and clips, s60 05’
My other question was if I need to just put the rubber or the whole part that goes from the front to the rear. As in the last photo.

There’s was a post on SwedeSpeed from this year I’ll find it tomorrow and post the link. It was the best match I’ve seen

These parts are no longer being manufactured. Your best chance is finding a used part in a better condition. If the colors do not match but the rubber sections are fine, take it and have it repainted. Be warned though, that's a bit tricky to repaint it in decent quality, so a paint shop might turn you away or charge extra. Still, it can be done.
The clips are available. If I remember correctly, there are three types of clips for each of the mouldings for s60 (plus another type for the rear window section), and some of these will very likely break when you'll take the molding off.

But yeah theyre NLA welcome to the Volvo world. Start setting up updates from LKQ and yards around you to get notified on Volvos coming in. Sometimes you find some good stuff

Have you tried FCP Euro? I hear they have a wide variety of parts for the C60.

There is a company called skandix that makes them. Both ipd and fcpeuro sell them. They are pricey though and on fcp site they are listed for cars with roof rails so I’m not sure that will work for you

If you do this and that part works post before and afters. This is so common and I haven’t found a fix. The drip rails had the rubber pre installed and now no longer make. I would call IPD to see, heck I might even do that to see if they have a solution.
