Thumbs down Ya gotta love it when they say *NO*

I called a MB dealership today and inquired on buying a MB sticker for my future windshield replacement,pretty cheap only $2.74 But theres a twist to this story!!!
You see guy's here in British Columbia Canada you insure your cars,suv's,campers,motorcycles... directly with the government!Its Called ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia).Now in the case of a car or suv,if you have insurance that covers windshields IE.stone chips etc.You must claim through the ICBC office,now heres the twist,they (ICBC)will pay the cheapest price possible for any replacement part needed in a accident or road hazard,so your going to get aftermarket parts and that includes windshields,and these come without a (MB) sticker.All of the dealerships in Vancouver are informed from MB Canada not to sell these stickers unless the customer orders and pays for a new windshield witch would come with a sticker to start with!
You guys still with me...lol lol
Hell you got to love it when they say NO!

Just saw the stickers offered on Ebay for, I think it was, $6.00 US plus $1.00 to ship!! Just go to Ebay motors. Click on car/truck and type in Mercedes. Search newly listed and arrow down til you find them.

That seller has some interesting items. I can't figure out if he has a chop-shop or not......

They've been updated again as well. My wife's 2005 has the same one as on Ebay.

I've seen newer E class vehicles with a sticker that just says "Mercedes".

So is the premise that the MB sticker makes the car worth more or is the OEM glass a better glass than others?

I believe the original reason for the sticker was a Quality Control verification for the car - not just the glass.

Hell you got to love it when they say NO!
It would help if you explain to us non-canadians the significance of the sticker
