If you use (and you should) a certified MB trained glass company, they have the stickers. I just had my windshield replaced on my SL500 today. The technician had the stickers. I called my local MB dealer and asked who they use for their glass repair. I called the same company and they sent their MB trained tech to change the glass. They ordered the OEM glass from MB. Allstate had no issue with the OEM glass price. I live in Florida and we have a law that requires the Insurance Company to cover the glass at 100%. Good luck...

Mine came from the factory with Pilkington.

My W220 S-Class is marked on each window with "Pilkington." I figure if they make the" Double-Duper, Super, protect you from the flash of nuclear fusion" windows on the S for MB they are well suited to make just about any automotive window out there. I've replaced plenty windows on various MB's using Glass America and they always use Pilkington replacements with marvelous results even many years later. They even slap the proper sticker on the front glass and it doesn't even show up on the invoice as a "charge" item.

The Smoke Silver 1990 560SEC I just sold last month had its windshield replaced with a Pilkington, and it is fine, no clouding or optical distortion.


It's fine, I would be very happy to get Pilkington, if it was needed again. They are good glass windshields, the Pilkington.
