I removed the back glass from my 1972 250C (w114) 3 months ago. There is a flat braid wire that runs on the edge of the glass from about 1/2 way down the glass to the corner. Notice that I said edge - it is neither on the outside nor the inside of the glass.
The gasket has one hole in each corner - the wires from the trunk come up, through the hole in the gasket, and are soldered to the flat braided wire.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense. I can take a picture of the glass if it will help.
