Windscreen replacement

Hi,

driving my nice new two week old e220 down the motorway when a passing truck threw up a stone - the initial chip has now grown in to a six inch crack.

Per my lease company and insurance it will now be replaced by Autoglass rather than local MB service provider.

Are there any concerns / lookouts I should have with the replacement provided?

Thanks.

Get the original brand of glass because replacements often look a bit different (color) and are of lesser quality. The glass info will be marked on the lower right portion of each piece of glass.

Might ask MB service what they do. I have seen some info that says you may need to recalibrate cameras. Will insurance cover this, if needed?

Also getting the original windshield will give you MB signature on lower right corner too.
