Hi, can any normal glass shop handle the above (420SEL)? Are they particularly expensive?

My 126,a 300SDL,had a new windshield put in 4 months ago,by a large glass chain...no problem at all..the price,I can't say,as it was done through an insurance claim.

The last time I had my W123 windshield replaced (by Elite Auto Glass) the cost was less than $200, as I recall.

The local glass shop did mine, they claimed they did quite a few W126's before and were familer with them.

My insurance company paid for it, but it wasn't cheap I want to say $500 maybe more.

I didn't get cheap glass either, no bargin Asian glass I got OE glass.

I had the windshield on W124 replaced about a month ago. Guy came to my house, had it done in about an hour. Charged me about $150. It is aftermarket, new, looks like original, and is fantastic. Very nice job, excellent price. So Cal area

Local boneyards here have glass (OEM) for $25 for the front. They install for about $80-120 depending on how they feel when you catch them. Just be sure to get a new seal installed at the same time, they're $40 or so typically.

I caught a fist sized rock this morning with my windshield. It hit right at the base, over where I think the coolant heater is. Amica has OK'd me to take it to the MB dealer

Hopefully I can take some pictures of the process.
