So some piece of crap decided to break into my car this weekend, and I'm sure too his surprise, there was nothing worth stealing. The worst part is, I talked to 2 MBZ dealers and both said it could take 4 weeks or more to get a replacement glass because they don't have one showing as available in the system. One even said even MBZ Germany didn't show any in stock and they might actually have to make one. WTF?


So I'm trying to hunt one down, new or used(hopefully in perfect condition), so my car isn't out of commission for a month or more. I've found some sites like Benzpartsdirect.com that sells them for a fair price, but I have a feeling they might have the same issue as the dealers actually finding one.

I'm going to check with them tomorrow but in the meantime, I want to search all options. Anyone know any shops or junk yards that might have one?

Try Saw Mill Auto. They sell SLS parts on eBay.

I searched for "Mercedes SLS OEM" on e-Bay and noticed a seller who appears to be parting out an SLS. Might be worth a try to contact the seller, "turbosonoma"

Good luck!

Thanks guys. I just hit up Saw Mill. I had messaged turbosonoma already. He has one but doesn't seem like he wants to ship it.

That stinks Houdini
Sorry to hear and good luck with your search for a replacement

Houdini - terrible news. I lived in SF for 23 years and had a similar situation where they broke the window and took a laptop bag out of the back seat of my E55. Right in front of the guards at the Chinese Consulate on Geary Blvd.

One idea would be to call the European Collision Center - MBoSF uses them. While it is likely that they order parts through the dealer, there is also a possibility where they can help with local and regional parts suppliers. One option to ask them is to see if there is a non-OEM option to get you on the road while you wait for the OEM glass. This is what I did with a passenger side window for my Ghibli.

Good Luck

Supposedly no non-oem option for this car. Looks like someone parting out one is my best option right now.

Wow. Sorry to see that happened to ya. Good luck on search. Keep us updated.

PS try these guys. I know a few guys that have bought SLS parts from them.

Thanks guys. So I got the same response from the online vendors, doesn't exist in the USA. Needs to come from Germany, basically a month out. Working on hunting one down from the junkyards now.

I know that feeling well, happened to me with my brand new (2 day old) 928 S4 back in 1987.
Parked for just a few minutes and all for a $10 pair of sunglasses.

If it helps, I saw a few folks on eBay listing gullwing doors for sale. If they have the door I am assuming they may also have a window.

Thanks. I've already reached out to all those guys. No luck yet. Only one that had the glass was the turbosonoma guy and he doesn't want to ship it.

Where does this seller live? Road trip or have a contact near turbosonoma (Sonoma CA?) pick the window up then carefully ship to SF...

Ha ha ha, if it was Sonoma I would drive there right now. He's in Washington state. I'm assuming it's Sonoma as in the truck.
