Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
Check out Pilkington classic glass program if you end up needing a windshield. They sold me a Sigla glass for my w108 at a reasonable price recently... About $300+shipping.

Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
Jaime, Is that program special, different from what an aftermarket installer would get? A couple years ago a Pilkington windshield was installed in my '95 sedan, and a month ago a rock strike cracked it. Seems to me that replacement windshields just aren't as strong as the originals, or maybe the installation was poorly done. I watched the guy install it, seemed like a very professional job, but I'm no expert.

Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
I just got the windshield in my Suburban replaced yesterday at Safelite. My wife caught some rocks from a dump truck on I-95 a coupla months ago, which cracked the glass in front of the driver. The crack that started in Houston on the pass side about 10 years ago never got much bigger and I paid no attention to it. Interesting in that it does not get as hot here as there, which I think caused that crack to grow slowly. I have no idea if this glass is any better or worse but I think it has a lifetime warranty with it, and there is no insurance deductible. --R On 10/3/14 3:18 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes wrote: No local installer could find the glass, even bigger names like safelite.

Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
I cracked the windshield in a new S class yesterday. A small stone hit it just right, I didn't even hear much of a bang. Oops. In related news my son bounced his stainless steel water bottle off the inside window of a C class this evening. Luckily, nothing broke. Only plastic cups in the car for now on.

Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
Thank you for the part number. Sounds like a dealer with a good MBCA discount might be the way to go. Genuine MB seal is A1236700139, retails for $144 on various dealer websites.

Re: [MBZ] 123 windshield gaskets
you might be stuck as this might be the only road to quality. just make sure you aren't getting a chinese one from the dealer or a counterfeit one from someone online i personally approve of penoff's method of build a relationship with a local brick and mortar dealer and get them to sell you at a discount as there are quite a lot of jokers on parts.com On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 10:44 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Thank you for the part number.
