Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: Front/Rear Glass replacement.. w126

 

How you boys in Sol Cal making out this winter? It's the driest in California history. Same up here, except maybe the second driest. I saw on news last night a fire down there and it looked like the Santanas were blowing, also 88 degrees in LA, wow. Hardly gets that hot in summer here. Max    not plowing or shoveling much snow

I just had Safelite replace my front windshield , they were fast and efficient , I provided the rubber grommet as I refuse to use the Chinese carppo ones they'll use no matter what they tell you .

Write Tom Hansen @ The Mercedes Classic Center with your V.I.N. and he'll ship you both front and rear grommets cheaper than the M-B Dealer near you will , faster too .

Then have Safelite supply and install their glass , it's cheap , under $20 installed and lifetime warranty on water leaks .

 

If the delamination is just the odd colors in the back light  ignore it , it'll never break or fail .

The rear has the legendary de-laminaton.. 

The front had two stone chips-- the first I was told wasn't a candidate for the "repair" stuff they do-- a second happened about a week later..

...that turned into a "mustache" last week..

My "other" 300SD has similar glass-- so "parts car" won't help here..

Thoughts about Safelite replacement??   Better or worse than "junkyard replacement?"

I emailed safelite for a "quote..."    The car is liability only, for insurance-- so it's "out of pocket" no matter what the route..

Do front screens become "brittle?"   Did 'Ma Benz' ever sort out the delamination on the rear screens?   I think 90% of the ones I see roaming NW ohio have "some degree" of it..

The car is going to continue being my daughter (17's) daily driver..  Her goal is to keep it "forever..."   So I try not to much around going "cheap" here..   The car doesn't look at at the moment.. *shrug*
