cracked windsheild
I have the worst luck when it comes to windshields! just got wacked by a rock on the freeway, it spread about 6 inches so far. Same thing happened on my W210 last year and my old civic. 
Time for a new one, anyone got any suggestions?

Mine is cracked too. went through insurance. MB wants $700 for the glass + 220 or so for installation who they use a 3rd party for. Don't know if there's a cheaper way to get the same quality/brand glass.
I heard a lot of the cheaper windshield places use cheaper chinese-manufactured replacement glass that are softer and will get pitted easier after just a couple years.
Anyone know the brand of glass for OEM MB windshields or a good place to get them?

Mine got smashed on the freeway this afternoon...huge faceted pattern little bigger than the size of a golf ball in the passenger's vision. Not going to be some simple fill job. There are actual chunks missing on the outer surface.
It was very loud sound; never saw the projectile that hit it. Maybe a stray bullet
MB must have some contracts out for glass replacement
