windshield

I searched the forums but couldn't find results specific enough ...

Has anyone here replaced their C class windshield (factory OEM with rain sensor), and if so, how much did it cost?

Can anyone recommend a shop in the San Fran Bay Area?

TIA

I am not sure where the sensor elements are, but what I've read from the various threads here is it's a different windshield.

For cars with sport package, I believe the glass also has a subtle blue tint, but correct me if I am wrong here. Does this mean it's a different windshield as well, or am I just over-thinking?

Lastly, do the aforementioned prices include labor?

Thanks to all who chimed in.

$1200 @ dealer included 4 hrs labor,I guess the tech had to watch the glue dry.
Insurance paided.
Good Luck.

i do not have the sports package and my originial and replacement windshield are both 'blue tinted'. $400 is out the door.

btw, the rain sensor is in the top middle of the windshield. i never heard it being anywhere else....
