Hello all, I've been waiting awhile and happy to say our G63 is arriving any day now! I was considering adding the dealer offered exterior/interior protection package which seems to pretty much be a ceramic coating and insurance policy. However, on the PO I see it has a line that states "G Class Scratch Resistant Paint"--does the factory apply a ceramic coating or some other compound to strengthen/protect the paint?

I was considering adding the MB windshield policy, but I think it's too expensive to only get one windshield out of it. I was quoted about $1,300 and the policy has a $5,000 total limit. I will likely just add a pf.

whats the deal with G-wagons and windshields? Are they extremely prone to rock chips/cracking etc?

Tjandegi

I guess so. We have a '16 and have never had an issue but it seems like others, especially with the new one, have been cracking easily.

10 or 10+ G-Wagons since 2002....not a single cracked windscreen for us and our Gs are always daily drivers. 2019 G...lots of them

i have owned 6 of them since 2009 and have cracked the windshield on every single one of them. All were repairable though and the cracks did not run including the latest crack on my 2019 ED1 with 5000 miles so far. Fortunately have not had to replace a windshield yet but I do repair them very fast (the same day) I keep a repair kit at home.

My 2018 has scratch resistant paint on the 'windshield sticker' but I think it's just marketing gimmick. I still get normal scratches just like other cars I've owned.

I think it’s just hardened clear coat that they’re putting on newer higher end mercs
