If you have a used car dealer friend, he would get 10-20% off the list price by buying it under his license. Worth a try if you know someone. Also in some states it is a requirement that your insurance replaces cracked windshields @NC to you no matter who is at fault you may want to check with your insurance company on that also.

Good luck, $1100 I think is reasonable compared to some other things Mercedes pulls off.

check this out guy, I call lambo dealer just for fun of it, listen to this, $5000.00 for my diablo 6.0 front windshield, unbelievable.

Braheem

Diable 6.0 huh? $1100 windshield? you poor soul

MB Fanatic

Sounds about right given the windshield has IR coating, and some other stuff.

Gotta pay da cost to be the boss. For a 90K that is about right I'd say.

I am the only one who thinks thats not really a bad price from the dealer?

Also what about windshield insurance, for me 150 bucks and I get a new windshield,

In the UK we pay the first $100 and the insurance picks up the rest.

Most insurance covers windshield replacement under your comprehensive coverage. Some have no deductable while some might have like $100 or $150...I'd call your insurance company to check.

I will be having my windshield replaced in the next day or two. I posted images of it a few weeks ago but it has spread up the windshield. My insurance would pay for repair but yesterday the company that does repair told me it cannot be repaired. I will have it replaced at the dearlership where they have their own installer and use the factory windshields only. I will have to pay my deductible on comprehesive coverage which is $1000...an amount I feel isn't totally out of line for a $108K car. I don't know what the total cost is but should know by early next week when the work should be done.

GDawgC220

Oh wow, $1000 for your deductible. But I guess if its gotta be replaced, its gotta be done.

Guess I'm glad for one thing MA insurance does, no deductible glass/windshield repairs/replacements.

mjr24

Yep, I paid about $1k for my CL windshield.

I guess we have it good here. Florida has a zero deductible for a windshield replacement with a comprehensive policy.

I saw the insurance invoice on a new mini windshield install and it was $860!... $1,100 sounds cheap.

I just got the service history on my car and found out that the windshield has been replaced, but I don't know who did it, or how much it cost the previous owner.

The reason I know this is that there was a service visit when the customer complained that the rain sensing wipers were not working properly after the windshield was replaced.

Anyway, this makes me wonder if this damn thing was wrecked. Does anyone know if we can see the Carfax report on their website? The dealer didn't give me one when I bought this beast.

I had the glass in the CLS55 replaced this week. My deductible from Sate Farm was $35, and they used factory glass, PPG Solextra. It all depends on the insurance plan you have.

Braheem

Anyone know the Mercedes excuse for these sub par windshields?

The windshield on my LS430 is about to fall apart thanks to the rock chips.

Does anyone know the reason of the ****ty LS430 windshields?

pmb600

I think the better question is does anyone know the reason for the **** all over the roads. I was driving my Dad's Cadillac back in high school and some metal thing flew right into the window and cracked it. Then this summer a rock hit my windshield. I don't know what to do with it because its not bad at all, just this tiny tiny little nick with no cracks, but its right in my line of sight so its annoying. Also whenever it rains the wipers leave this line from it.

I just re-read my previous post, it is probably the most badly written thing I've ever posted. Forgive me I've been sick and stuck in the house for 3 days

M-B wanted to match the quality of Toyota, I mean 'Lexus' windshields...

vraa

No, they are still Toyota.
I think so, at least anyways all my filters say "Toyota OE"

Nevada Jack

Anyone know his excuse for these sup par posts...

Braheem

C'mon, car's been out for less then a year and you dont expect any better?

Nevada Jack

The car has been in production since the Fall of '05.

What relationship do cracked windshields from road surface debris have to do with MB and their windshields? Geeze....

OldNate

Are you crazy, that's not a reasonable price. I got my windshield replaced for $175. My friend got his porshe windshield replaced for $200. Go to a auto glass shop and the MOST you should pay is $300.
