windshield replacement - oem or aftermarket
My 2001 E55 has a badly cracked windshield. I have scheduled to have it replaced with an aftermarket part. Total bill is going to be less than $200 with lifetime guarantee. In their "online" quote they clearly state that the quote is for a windshield without any additional items like sensors or antennas.
I found online an OEM w/rain sensor - $315, and without $286 (just the part - no labor)
Does the W210 class have the radio antenna installed in the windshield (if so, no wonder reception isn't all that good!)?
I see the black dot pattern in the windshield in the upper middle portion. would that be the rain sensor.
I can easily live without the rain sensor, but I'd like an antenna. They are scheduled to do the work one week from today, and I've emailed them my question and asked them to call.
Thanks for any suggestions
