Removing the glass isn't as difficult as putting it back in. The old seal can be cut to remove it. Be sure to use a factory replacement seal when you do this job, and I strongly advise you have a qualified glass shop do the work. We'll give you a decent price on the new seals.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Windshield gasket replacement

 

I think it's about time for me to swap out the gaskets on the windshield
and possibly back window on my 85 300D. I looked into adding flowable
silicone, but the gasket is pretty cracked and crumbly. The water is
channeling around the window and pouring onto the passenger floor.

The glass isn't really that bad(pitted). My 80 240D is a lot worse. I
would like to remove the glass and just replace the gasket. Has anyone
done this job? Successfully without snapping the glass?

Do I try this myself? Maybe hire a glass replacement service? I
wouldn't think that they would guarantee not breaking the glass. They
would make more $ if it did break.

My favorite junkyard owner says that he uses oven cleaner to eat the
gasket when he salvages glass. I've heard through work that it works on
a lot of epoxies also.

No, I don't have insurance on the car for free glass replacement if a
stone accidentally smashes it.

Thanks for any heads up.

Carl

Or not.. I worked a flag station at turn 6 (outside of the bottom of the corkscrew) at the big shootout between DG and Moss. (1960?) Moss was driving CABC's Lotus 19, (BRG),  DG was driving Frank  Arciero's Lotus 19 (tomato juice red) and there was nothing at all to choose between their driving styles...'Bout the 5th lap, I had my head sticking out between the haybales, trying to find the least difference between their driving lines, gear shifts, any thing, when Moss came through in full drift, took his right hand off the wheel and waved at me...
I'm convinced to this day that DG was at least the equal of Moss, though he lost that race.  Factory car to privateer, no surprise.

So ;

I was in the CVS picking up meds when I noticed a LIFE Magazine on the counter , with a black and white picture of The Beatles on the cover....

Wow ~ LIFE Magazine is still published ? .

Of late I have been driving my 1959 Metropolitan Nash Coupe a lot , folks always say it's so cute , what is it ? .

When I tell them it's a cheap two seater that gets 40 MPG and few wanted them when new , they're flabbergasted .
