I will need to replace my original windshield on my 1982 240D and the auto glass place is asking me if the original windshield had the green tint or bronze tint.

Does anyone know what color tint it had originally? I will need to replace the gasket as well. Any recommendations or tips? Thanks.

This information is usually in the buildsheet. My car has its original MB star windshield and the buildsheet speaks of green tint heat reflective glass. When the sun shines through the top part, In can see green in the shadows but the screen is clear and I dont see any tint.

Maybe someone knows on this forum how to see the color.

I would advise that if this car is a "keeper", use an OEM windshield and a new OEM gasket if required.

For the Front people have been saying the OE Windshield Rubber Gasket is the best fit.
The Rear Window is not so picky.

I was suprised to find My frnt Windshield was made in Mexico; likely a replacement.
