Hmmm. I will have to look into that if the window cracks on mine.

No. Same glass. Old seal was leaking so I replaced with new MB seal. Quality

That seems to be the position of the auto glass shops around
here. If it breaks I have to pay for a new one. doesn't make

I ask because I was told by a glass guy who did the back glass in my 82 300SD
(and cracked it as well) that window seals on MBs are tough to do, especially
due to the multiple lips in the seal grooves.

A little flowable silicone under the seal will do you right.
Between glass and seal, between seal and steel, or both?

Make sure the drains in the wells are open (they get clogged up easily)
so whatever gets in will drain out.
The water is probably coming in around the rear window "seals" at the
corners, or you are getting corrosion that is letting in water, or some
combination of the two. This is happening o
