I have a 2015 g63, and I'm having corrosion below the windshield right under the rubber around the windshield. Does anyone know if Mercedes will assists?

Maybe, maybe not. I just got a quote from a very well respected body shop to repair lower windshield corrosion + some small areas on the driver side door sill and rear door hinge for about $1800, which is a lot more reasonable than I thought it would be. Assuming that the corrosion hasn't rotted away the frame, the fix shouldn't be that expensive.

That being said, I would highly recommend you look into corrosion prevention techniques to ensure your truck remains corrosion-free after you repair it. Some of these include:

-Always keeping your truck in a garage when not being driven
-Using a dehumidifier and fans in your garage to dry your truck out
-An oil-based anti corrosion spray applied to all body cavities (Waxoil, Fluid Film, NHOIL, etc)
-Learning how to properly hand wash your truck (NEVER run it through an automatic wash) and make sure it is free of road salt
-Painting the chassis with a rust inhibiting paint

Should have mentioned that corrosion on these trucks is super common. Do you have any pictures of it? How many miles?

I only have about 48,500 miles

Looks identical to the rust problems I'm having.

Other areas you should immediately inspect:
-door sills
-bottom of all five doors
-all door hinges (especially on the rear doors)
-the surround around the moonroof
-pillars for the exterior rearview mirrors

I had a tiny rust bubbling up around the windshield and you will be surprised what's hiding underneath!

who did you get to fix your truck? and what was the cost?

Can't speak for OP but a local body shop repaired the rust on my truck. Cost about $4k (including a few other areas around the vehicle)
