do you want MB ones? or those generic twist-fold ones?

Why don't you tint your front windshield? although illegal, it may help a little...

This is one from PerformanceProducts... it looks like the one MB sells, but not sure if they are the same product.

CLICK HERE for $47.50


And the other type, which is the twist-fold style I mentioned, is also available at PerformanceProducts

CLICK HERE for $14.95 You can get these at target for about the same price too

I don't want pepboy ones, I want something look nicer, preferably MB ones. I thought about tinting my windshield but I've heard issues driving at night with tinted windshield.

Bruce, I have my authentic MB W208 windshield cover...thick, silver, and like the pic from Performance Products except there's a diagonal cloth on one side and it has the MB star and "Mercedes-Benz" logo.

It's too small for my E55 windshield. Let me know if you want it, I'll give it to you for $25; it retails for $60. I can get it from my E55 this weekend and we can meet up sometime next week.

Send me a PM or e-mail.

I've used both the folding type and the generic target twist type and they both work. The folding type is a custom fit, but it did droop about 5 inches after a while. The twist type is not a perfect fit but be stored out of the way in a bunch of places.

agreed! the twist one, although not very attractive, is very easy to store since its so small.
