Tom,
The windshield is for the 1994 S420, not your former car, so don’t sweat it.
So do you still have the gullwing windshield? Or was it for a restoration?

In 2007, I bought a Gullwing windshield from the dealer for $550. No one
could believe it.

Randy,
For what it's worth, we looked at the EPC using the gasket number and the
"where used" function (you don't get this feature in the home version, sorry!).
There appears to have been two styles only - the three bolt flange and the four
bolt flange. Neither are still available.

Thanks Dan.
One would think that with the number of these old MB diesels still
running around, all over the world, those might still be in enough
demand to have them produced - especially since they are no doubt very
similar to the one for the 123.
I ordered one from someone on ebay so I wil
Just got back from the dealer. Here's the skinny on windshields from MBUSA:
If the cars are legacy models, like a W140 or W124, the dealer has to call PPG
in Dallas, who holds all of the NOS windshields. They in turn check the
inventory and report back to the dealer as far as availability.

Genuine glass is worth the money and usually not so expensive. I put a
windshield in my 300CD earlier this year and it was surprisingly cheap.
But then again, genuine everything is generally better!
I replaced an aftermarket glass that was badly chipped. Poor quality.

I don't know about that. Considering that aftermarket glass is readily
available and cheaper, I'm not sure people would place a lot of value on OE
glass. Now if they stopped making it, that's another issue

Prices sound fair to high. Beware the frame preparation work. All old sealant
must be removed, any rust needs to be remediated, and a really high quality
metal primer/paint applied to the frame to prevent future rust which will crack
