Do they all fit?
Does the heating look/work the same at the aftermarket glass?

Installation: I was planning for installing myself. I have the Mercedes rubber and the mercedes sealant (the one that does not dry).

I saw that the install is relatively cheap
[ windshieldstogo offers like $285 for the 126 rear glass only and $400 including install... they would come to my garage to install...]
But I wondered if they will do it the same way I'd do it (the traditional way Mercedes did it?
...Using the MB sealant and the string method to pull the inner rubber lip to the inside of the sheet metal frame all around.... No Urethan sealer.

How did your aftermarket installs go?
I'd like to have it done the traditional way. But maybe they 'll glue it with Urethane no matter what I want.

Best, Martin
Sorry Martin, I cannot answer any of your questions. I have a shop here that I trust and just take it there. I just bought one for my 92 124 wagon and I believe it was around 250 installed.
