Hey guys,

I have a 1984 300D.

My trunk leaks and I'm pretty much convinced it's the rear windshield gasket. I know there's other sources of leaks, and I've already traced those on my car, but I still have one that drips from the rear windshield area. I've tried sealing it up with the flowable silicone, but the seal is just too dried/cracked. I've decided I'd like to get a genuine Mercedes seal and have it installed somewhere as I think the rear window replacement is a little out of my league.

I may remove it at my house as the removal seems to be the easier part, and it would allow me to make sure I don't have any rust under the seal.

I was wondering if anyone had ever taken their old Benz to a general auto glass place and had the rear windshield done? I'm just curious if most places are aware of the methods for installing these windshields, or if I'm going to have a hard time finding a place that can get it done. While you're at it, do you remember the name of the place you had do it? Maybe I can find a place of the same chain near me. And lastly, what did they charge you for the labor? I know in the end I'll need to call around and ask, but I'd love to hear from some people who've had the work done so I know what to expect.


Thanks guys!
