I have not done any windshields in the past few years, but did a 123
with a gasket from Rusty, no problems. Replaced front, rear and door
gaskets on a 110 Diesel with a kit from the Rust man, again, no
problems. It is nice to have good door and windshield gaskets.

hi Glenn!
we just recently had a new windshield put in our '85 300D as well,
in preparation for holiday travels.
one thing i'd add is that it was a challenge getting the insurance
company (AAA) to pay for the gasket, but we finally did get it approved.

Max,
Also IIRC, didn't Dr booth say it wasn't the same issue on a 124? My
300D 2.5t has glass installer windshield that John Peterson had put in
before he sold it to me: no special gasket and no leaks after 4 years.

The way I see if, it the service manual calls for a new gasket if the
windshield is changed, then that's the last work, argument over.

The guys from Safelite returned today with an OE winshield gasket for my '84
300D from EuroSpec and had absolutely no problem with the installation. The
one fellow indicated that he immediately saw the difference in the corner
angles of their aftermarket gasket vs. the OE gasket.

Almost easier to list the ones that are _not_ glued in:
114/115, 123. (And probably the older ones,
such as 108, 110, 113, etc.)
Glued:
107, 124, 126, 201, probably all newer.

Bunches of times. I would be sure to find someone who
is familiar with older cars, that's all.
Also, UI would highly advise that you buy a new seal -
an OEM seal. It's good insurance.

Isn't his 190D new enough that that isn't an issue? I know on the W123
and older cars there is no sealant... just the seal. In those cases it
is very important to have the OE seal.

I had Safelite come out around Xmas and replace mine. Took 2x since the

often they have incredible deals. They beat everyone by 50% or more,

You're thinking about 126 chassis cars, which have a

You may very well be correct, John. I'm not directly
familiar with the 190, and was assuming it's the same
as the W124.
I wasn't aware that the 190 was so different that the
other chassis of the same time frame. I'm learning
that it is *very* different in a number of areas...
Mea culpa

W201's have a glued in windshield, no need for a new gasket.
