Replacement window glass
 

Hey guys, I've got a 1987 w124 body 300 diesel that was recently the victim of some vandalism. The driver's side window was smashed in and I'm looking into replacing it myself. I know a guy who has a number of old merc hulks and I was wondering how close the year/model needs to be to mine for the window glass to be compatible. Will any W124 chassis car do? Does it need to be a 300 series? Would glass from an earlyer W123 suffice? What are my options?

I can't say exactly about the W124 series, but the W123 series would all be the same, with the exception of the 2-doors. I would guess it is the same with the W124s.
I can tell you that W123 windows will not fit the W124s.
I hope this helps a little.

Any W124 sedan or wagon will work for the drivers door, any engine, gas or diesel, all the same except the coupes and cabrios.

Gilly
