Almost guaranteed that they won't replace the sticker, but you can buy a new one at your Mercedes dealership for about $5. They make several types so get the one you like the best.

Interesting, I always assumed that if you replaced the windshield with an OEM MB windshield it would already be in place; and if you got an aftermarket replacement, of course it would be missing.

No. The sticker is never included, but the pro is you'll be able to choose a different design you may like better.

Go to the stealer ship and ask for that.. Its a sticker.. the dude at the parts gave me one for free.. While you are there check on another car for the position of the sticker. Get some paper out and mark. When putting on the sticker use a little soap with some water & use a credit card to remove any air bubbles.

I had to do it to mine =D

Had my windshield replaced using factory MB glass. It came with the sticker and also the MB logo in the glass.

Then the shop ordered the sticker and put it on for you.
All factory glass will have the MB logo.

$437 - is it MB original? or aftermarket? Does it have rain sensor?

That's pricey... Paid $285 installed for an aftermarket windshield. It has the rain sensor and looks exactly the same as the MB original but without an emblem in the lower left corner and without any MB stickers. Lifetime warranty against leaks from a local company that's been in business for a very long time. Not sure why you guys want that MB sticker on the right to begin with... I scraped the old one off as soon as I got the car as I like the clean look without any stickers. But then again, I take off all the airbag warning stickers from the visors and doors so it must be just personal preference.

I was just quoted $518 (parts and labor for after market) and $700 for OEM (including labor, taxes, etc.) from Safelite.

Dealership wants a total of $1360 ($609 for the glass and 6 hours of labor).

Just wondering though, why would you want the sticker in the first place?

If you have glass coverage can you choose to bring it to MB to have it done? I mean I would assume the insurance would want to choose the cheapest place

the dealer quoted me nearly $1400 for the repair - Geico in NY will reimburse up to $600.
