Question Purchasing 2003 CLK430

Any one know about OEM glass on the clk430?

Specifically when the car was produced would MB use the same
supplier of glass for every window in that particular car.
All Seikert, all pilkinton etc.


Buying soon. Any info will be appreciated...

Well my 00 clk430 has Seikert rear, side and door windows with the blue tint. The windshield is made by Pilkinton and is clear. I could of sworn this car was suppose to have the Seikert glass on the front too.

I agree... but the windshield is more likey to be replaced than the side ones.

When the side glass doesn't match each other it is suspect...

thanks...

I have Pilkington, Sigla, Sekurit and St Gobain, all original and with mercedes logo in my 2000 430 cab. Blue tint as well.

2003 was a change over year. Hardtops were W209 in 320/500 designations. Converts were W208 in 320/430 designations.
