Front windscreen panel rusty
Hello
I am restoring my W463 SWB petrol wagon
The front windscreen has been removed to reveal a very rusty lower front panel.
Does anyone know of a company (apart from MB) who can supply a repair panel ?
Alternatively I wondered if anyone know of a G wagon that is being broken for spares?
any ideas ?

Have you checked the price from MB ? Body panels are not too expensive usually.
You can get (Chinese?) pattern parts (look on eBay) but then it will take you a while to get them to fit properly and the metal will rust again pretty quickly.
Just my opinion, but if you are going to the trouble to restore, you might as well do it properly.
new one from mb is approx £50 !!!!
exterior screen frame is £100 !
ive replaced a few of these
Me too
kindly dropped off by Graham
Cut and fitted in exactly the same place. For the money and it fits properly why by pattern parts. Easy job its just removing all the dash that is the hard part

Is inside rotten behind the dash ? Tho you might need to remove instrument panel or / and dash top to get an idea, does it have air con?
Dear all,
FYI a quick update on the MB panel replacement.
Went to my dealer found the right picture and ordered the W463 front panel £80 approx
The internal (behind dash panel) is £480 for W463.replacement
so I ordered the W460 one which was £78 approx and we will fabricate what we need for the repair from
that panel.
will be able to get the body painted now!
Thanks again....
Probably too late, but the internal panel I think is much cheaper in lhd form.?
Hi there
I went to Hughes of Beaconsfield this morning to order these two repair panels.
The guys were very helpful but could not find any reference to the panels.
Could you please let me know the part numbers, or names, or categories?
(Anything that will help them find the right items, basically)
Thank you.

hello
sorry for delay in responding I travel on business quite a bit
If you give your chassis number or reg
the MB exploded panel drg shows panels you require
for some reason I cannot find my Invoice which has the parts number
hopefully the dealer should be able to find them
if you still have problems let me know as I have an account with MB and will get a copy invoice
which will show part numbers
best

thank you so much for the info guys,
I asked at MB and they came up with a panel that cost £1,200 pounds!
I was thinking,that MB must have a repair panel as it is a common problem on these vehicles.
so grateful ... for the help
I will get myself off to MB tommorrow !!!
Thanks again
