Most insurance policies cover the windsheild at no charge. I had mine replaced by Safelite. Only use Mercedes glass...

I did get the windshield lifetime program when I bought the car, so didnt really paid anything when I had mine changed. I looked at the receipt it was close to 500 bucks, ask for an original oem part. the c.s. person i talked to said, they're gonna put an aftermarket, but I requested for an oem.

Safelite is a good choice. I had mine replaced by them. Didn't purchase the glass insurance from MB. They wanted around $800. Hope that i don't have to put another one in. Then I would be in the hole. In NJ windshields are covered by Comp which in my case is $500. No freebies here.

P.S. they put in OEM glass

These almost vertical GLK's windshields are rock magnets alright! (Even bug magnets) As a a matter of fact, they're *everything* magnets.
