Should I replace my windshield. Worry about leaks.

A few weeks ago. I crack my windshield on my ML. Since then I have used a windshield kit to repair the crack.

I was thinking about replacing the windshield anyways because I still could see the crack and I have a bunch of chips on the windshield anyways. Although it does not interfer with my driving.

My questions is assumming I go to an experience shop. How likely would the replacement windshield leak.

thanks

blau

If the shop stands behind their work, the chance is 100% of a leak free job. If not right away, then eventually.

Ask your dealer's parts department who the dealer uses for windshield replacements and then go to them directly. You'll get someone local who is very experienced with MBs and the same job for much less money than you'd pay the dealership.

None of the dealers do it themselves. Mine uses a place that came to my garage and charged me $240 to do my E300 with Pilkinton aftermarket glass when everyone else was at least 50% higher. Just my $0.02.
