My local body shop wanted $800 to pull the glass and replace the chrome trim and rear seal. But they said to fix the rust they would have to cut it out and weld in new metal. Their a resto shop, and their right that is the proper way to fix it but I don't have $3k now to spend on that. So I will just grind it down and paint it for now.

I looked at an 89 560SEL that had a 2" long spot at the base of the window. The car being sold by an MB Indy and they called the shop they use. They would charge about $650 to do the job. I think they said they'd actually have a glass guy come in to pull and replace the glass and that definitely included a new gasket.
