I've NEVER replaced a windshield on ANY of my cars... And I've had quite a few. With my C300, Its gotten chipped twice.

Bad luck or bad glass? I don't know!

Looking through your windshields must be like looking through a screen door. Either that or you go everywhere in reverse.

**UPDATE**

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to give you an update on my windshield replacement, I had it done a few days ago for no charge... glass is covered 100% under the Massachusetts comprehensive insurance coverage.

So far I am pleased. The glass does indeed look exactly like the original windshield, fit, finish and clarity look fine plus they did reinstall a new Mercedes product sticker and reattached my toll transponder. The windshield is manufactured by Saint Gobain Sekurit.

If I encounter any problems with this, I’ll let you all know. Thanks again for all your feedback! I appreciate it.

Cheers,

Joe

Sekurit has been making German car glass since at least the fifties.
