I believe the Mercedes factory windsheid gaskets do fit better, BUT.... I've installed two Mercedes windshields using Mercedes gaskets, and both times the rubber seemed to age and crack prematurely. I suspect many of the factory gaskets have been sitting on the shelf way too long. The replacement windshield gasket on my '82 240D is now showing serious cracking in the upper corners after two years. So be forwarned!

Happy Motoring, Mark
