Someone broke my driver side rear window I was wondering if I can use any other model glass or just my model.

My model is a 2006 C230 Sport Sedan

Which of these window would work

Ideally i'm hoping for the ones closer to California would work.

Also! Is there any DIY how to take the door apart? So I can install the window myself. I don't think it need the STAR machine to hook it up.

There's a diy in the diy thread and wiki I believe.

No the glass is not universal. E class glass will not fit a C class. Within the W203 world there are two tints available. A blue and a gray tint. You should use the electronic parts catalog and search for the window glass by VIN number to get the proper part number.

Call your insurance company and ask who they use to replace windows. You might find it very inexpensive to allow a pro to change the window.

These guys will come to you. (caglass.net) They do a lot of dealer work. They will charge $204 for the job. You might ask for a discount.....

Do you guys think this dent is a big problem? Or I can work around it(i.e pop it out)? It would seem like it would not let me roll up the window all the way.



they had to smash my visors too

I think I might be inclined to get a pro repair done on that. Don't let anyone tell you that you need a new door. That's fixable.

As Movie says there are different tints on different models.

Also be careful with windscreen if you have Auto wipers etc. The sensor has changed over the years so you need to specify by VIN or upgrade the sensor to the newer screen. Also ensure correct openings in the black mask for other sensors like lights etc.

Ah I see, that's the info i'm looking for. I do have the auto rain sensor for my front windshield. Would I have to buy the new sensor on my own or the window people would have it?

Do you think these local window guys know about the tiny details of mercedes? I don't want them to forget a minor detail and something goes wrong. I read one of the DIY and it talked about unplugging the battery because of the side airbags, speakers, etc.

The only problem with the dent is that it won't close up all the way right.. I can just probably buy new visors for now and that will solve the little opening.


*i was told by CA glass that the door window doesnt require a sensor only the front windshield. And it would cost $300 instead of $200 because of the blue tint

The windshield (windscreen for our SA friends) can be replaced by the larger mobile glass companies. They are the ones doing it at most dealerships, anyhow. They must use the OEM glass with the sensor already attached.

It is difficult to get the optical interface correct when gluing the sensor assembly to the glass in the field. The mobile glass guys don't have STAR diagnose multiplexers to adjust the sensors if necessary. You would need a dealer visit to correct it. Might cost more in the end than an OEM windshield. If the glue is too far from spec, you will not be able to adjust it.

It is almost the same money for an OEM glass, so if you like the automatic wipers, you should pay the two dollars to get it right.

And watch that black mask in the glass. It varies with number of options fitted. My CLK has no fewer than 8 sensors on the screen that need a hole in the mask.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Can anyone confirm if this glass would fit my car?

It's off an 2005 C230 and have the blue tint.



The listing say it's OEM but I don't think i see the black print / mercedes logo in the bottom corner.
