Hi All,

I just wanted to share the windshield replacement process I went through wihh safelite and the various quotes I got.

With safelite I got a quote for the oe pgw solar and reflective winddhield for 880$

The same windshield from another provider I was quoted around 650$.

I ended up going through safelite due to a direct bill agreement with my insurance company and a $0 deductible

The new windshield looks great, has the uv and solar reflective feature and is much clearer than my tattered ap tech oe windshield.


Now I'm just wondering how much labor will cost to change the front windows to the blue tint windows! 😬

the oe oem and aftermarket labeling gets confusing when it comes to windshields.

Oe is the one with the Mercedes logo and part number

Oem is from the same manufacturer as the oe part pgw aptech securit ( but maybe didn't make qc)

Aftermarket is the safelite or other version of the windshield


I was very happy to get oe, it was less than 100 difference betweenbthe aftermarket windshield with solar reflective and the oe one so they just paid the difference.

It really does make a world of difference. No more microchips on the windshield and now I have the ir coating too


Now I just need to get repaired the damage a local car wash inflicted on the rear 😭
