2018 Mercedes Benz E300
Windshield Replace
Hello,
So I have a 2018 Mercedes E300, base model with a little upgrades to it. It's not solar coated, I don't have lane assist, and there is no heads up display.
It does however, have these two triangles for other things liked showed below:
I have comprehensive coverage, so the windshield should be in there. I found a quote on Safelite for $510 without going through insurance which isn't that bad. The next day, they came out with a third party, after market windshield. I sent them away because I thought it was an OEM, not an after market. They ended up calling me back and telling me that it's around a $2,000 windshield (Mercedes dealer quoted me the same price) and my insurance will require a $1,500 deductible for it.
That seems unreasonably high as I've had an Alfa Romeo before with the lane keep features and everything and it only cost me a $300 deductible. Should I wait because of the current prices of everything at the moment or is this just a typical Mercedes price for a windshield of this model?

I always add "enhanced glass" rider on my auto policy to insure OEM replacement. Very inexpensive rider.

NY believes a cracked windshield is a safety issue and hence they want the windshield replaced pronto!

Had my previous S-class windshield replaced last year, it had adaptive cc, lane assistant, etc. Read lots on how others had issues with aftermarket glass so told the insurance person I needed OEM glass. No problem, had it done at Saflite as a MB dealer wasn’t close. They recalibrated everything with no issues. They quoted over $2000, I paid whatever my deductible was. Insurance also reimbursed me for the windshield tinting I had installed - Air Blue 80, can’t tell it’s there, but really helps with glare and heat.

Does anyone know if the Acoustic Comfort package with the extra laminated windshield causes any issues with delays or greater expense if the windshield needs to be replaced for breakage?

I had to wait a couple of weeks to get my windshield ordered and replaced with the Acoustic Comfort package which was a shorter wait then for a windshield on my W221

2020 E450 Wagon
Where in Austin did you get it repaired? I have a nice big chip out of my 2020 E450 wagon windshield on the passenger side and will get it repaired at some point this year. Thanks.
