Windshield replacement help

Hey guys, I posted this in the w203 section as well, but posting it here too because time is of the essence -

I'm going to get my windshield replaced and wanted to know if anything else aside from the windshield is required (moldings, etc). I've found a great shop to perform the job and refuse to buy my windshield from a dealer for $501 when I can get it online, shipped, for $360. I just need to know if any other parts are needed before I finalize my order.

Cheers ,
Raph

as long as it is the correct windshield it will come with the sensor stuff attached to it already. And why isn't your insurance or the shop doing your windshield handling this? I had mine replaced on my w203 c230 before I sold it and they did all the work. I just paid my $100 deductible

Insurance isn't doing this because I don't want the claim on my record (have enough speeding tickets for that) and my deductible is $500. When I went to purchase the car, the original windshield had a crack. The selling shop replaced it, but with the wrong windshield (non-EOM, and with light/rain sensor, as opposed to just light) so the sensor doesn't connect properly. No online sellers ship windshields and no aftermarket manufacturers make a replica of the OEM part (# 2036703201, blue tint, no rain sensor, with light sensor). Found other dealers in the area that sell it for $425. FML.
