So the windshield on the ol' CW has been badly pitted and
cracked since we got it. Like the orange carpet in the
living room that's got to go. Like the orange carpet
it didn't exactly happen right away. Eighteen years later we
finally replaced the carpet, so it's fairly easy to understand
why
Dude, you're asking if ANY new glass is OK on a $400 car? And it will
make your wife happy, no matter what it is, as long as it has no pits
and cracks?

IIRC Roger just a few weeks ago said that Pilkington was OEM for all
new Benzes, which seems like a pretty good recommendation to me.

Agreed, and it runs like a scalded cat on any Mac with a 60x CPU.

Looks like some more out-of-context anti-ethanol information.
Moisture in gasoline is potentially a big problem. The affects of ethanol
with this moisture is just a red herring.
If you read the label on a bottle of dri-gas or
Anyone ever tried the polishing kits that claim to remove pitting and
scratches?
My 300D windshield is moderately pitted, enough so that early/late day
sun can cause annoying glare. But I really hate to contemplate
replacing it as every time I've had a windshield replaced it started
leaking
Time for a bit of TLC on the Frankenheap. I aired the tires and

Probably a bit too expensive to take as luggage on the plane. Get a boat

Well, yes, but the use of additional, free, non-factory parts (sticks)
makes up for it.

My experience with these has been less than satisfactory.
You can use BonAmi (in cake or powdered form-NOT the cleanser!) or find a
telescope guy and get some cerium oxide.
Best fix-hit the thing with a small ball peen hammer and turn it in for
replacement to your insurance agent (just joking

On that same subject, I found State Farm to be very liberal about
windshield replacement. When I lived in Florida previously, my 300SD

tough to see at night or when driving into the sun.

Repeating my post from earlier this month... *smiles*
I just had a new windshield and gasket install in my '85 TD.
Safety Inspection is a racket...
Anyway. I looked at getting PPG glass. Decided the car did not
deserve one _that_ good.
...So, _is_ Pilkington glass OK?..
MB has been using Pilkington glass as OE for a long time now. My 2008 has
all PIlkington. I just read someplace that Pilkington bought Sekurit a while
back.
My 2001's glass was PPG. Made in France.
