Woodrat, call the M-B Classic Center and see what they can tell you. If anyone can get the gasket you need it is them.

I did do a quick search before posting the link to the seal at Pelican.
The internet states that w123 chassis goes from 11-1975 to 01-1986. This led me to believe that the OP's 1976 240D was in fact a W123. If that is the case, then the seal linked is what he/she/they are looking for and will work.
If the OP's 240D belongs to some other chassis group, then I suppose it will not. My bad.
I too was mildly confused by the term "windshield" as used to describe a rear window seal. I solved this by contacting Pelican directly and clarifying that the seal was in fact for the rear window. As previously stated, I have since purchased the seal and it has been installed.
