Hi, can you please tell me my windshield number? mbparts.mbusa shows three options, and I do not quite understand what exactly from the factory in my car, I know there are people here who can find the part by vin number - 4JGFB4KB8LA054747.
Also would like to get opinions on alternative glass manufacturers Fyuao and Xyg.
I would be very grateful.

The different windshields are based on what options you have with the GLE. The sound insulating/heat reflective windshield is different from the windshield for the HUD option which is different from the windshield with no options. Personally, I would only consider Mercedes OEM glass with the Mercedes symbol engraved on it. I had to replace mine last year. It was at no cost to me (comprehensive covered it). Safelite ordered the windshield (it came form Germany), installed it and calibrated all the sensors. They did a good job.

Just had mine replaced as well OEM is only way to go don’t settle on the generic replacement non Mercedes parts.

Most OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) make several grades of glass.

Get the actual OE (original equipment spec) glass, not just a generic from an OEM.

Insurance might charge you extra if you go with the OE glass from the parts department, but that's the only way I know that I'm getting the best glass.

I used to know the various grades from OEMs, but it's pretty hard to follow now.

And the Daimler decal is a separate part number.

I used safelite to replace the windshield and requested OEM glass it came with the decal. If you don’t request OEM they will install generic windshield and I don’t know if that has the decal but if I was to guess I’d say no. Good idea to ask installer if it comes with decal and where they’re getting windshield from.

My GLE450 has the HUD. Safelite told me the only option was the genuine Mercedes glass. Fine by me.

That's usually the case for at least the first 3 years after a vehicle starts production. The reason is that's how long it takes aftermarket manufacturers to start producing their glass.
Specialty glass will take longer for the aftermarket to start copying, if at all, because of limited demand.
