I got a new windshield in my 300SDL last summer at the local Binswanger shop for a total of $200.00 - including tax. It has not leaked in the torrential rains we've been getting - even at highway speeds yesterday. They were able to replace the molding such that I can't tell they touched it. I think this windshield is glued in instead of using a gasket?
