Bolts missing used gle 350d

Hi Just picked up an approved used gle 350d (uk).

amazing car clean conditikn. But couple of things innoticed

1 there are two bolts missing that connects the side pannel to the frame. I noticed when I opened the hood. Pls see pictures notified dealer but missing on bothe sides. Other bolts seem untouched no scratched wonder why it is missing any ideas?



2 The windscreen doesn't seem to have merc logo etched. It says fuyao. Is it oem?

Thanks

THE C350
Looks like nothing is missing I looked at a few pictures and they all seem to have those holes. https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.emerc...9C0562_087.jpg

Fuyao is a glass company based in China and is both an OEM and Aftermarket supplier for many car companies. Since it is missing the Mercedes logo I would say yours is aftermarket. I had a Fuyao windshield in my ML350 for most of the time I owned it and never had a problem. Installation is key though so if it was installed well you shouldn't have any issues.

Thanks

Thanks yes the dealer checked few similar cars and they all seem to have the issue.

In terms of after market windshield everything works fine. Raised it with dealer will ask for a refund. Not sure if this voids any warranty with merc if some thing around the sensors goes wrong


Thanks
