Warren ;
W-123's don't use that system ~ they use a rubber grommet so they seal better and almost never crack like those cheapo glued in ones do .
All Stat Glass in Gardena , is where I get my glass , cheap .

My 220D has the same gap, though no water comes inside. Insurance companies replace glass when they get damaged - so you might be better off. And they use quality shops.
My F150 picked up a rock and the crack is growing...

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Windshield seal replacement- problems
Hey, can a windshield seal be removed and reused, if it's only been on a week?
I bought a MB windshield seal, and had a local windshield shop replace my windshield last week, after having my windshield smashed by something on the highway, only to find out either the seal or the glass is off to one side, leaving a 1/4 " gap in the outer seal at the upper driver's side corner. I'm going back to the shop today, yet wanted to know options before I got there.
Can the glass be moved once installed? (with lots of silicone lube or
something)
The seal is more expensive than the windshield.
Maybe better to smash the glass and get it replaced.
Not happy about this.
