The screen is Mercedes part # A460 671 05 10; it's 140 euros in Germany so should not run to more than £100 here. Check your insurance, it might cover you. I don’t advise using a used screen. The difference with a new one was unbelievable – I could see out at night and in strong sunlight – no scratches. (Always use new wipers with a new screen)

Hope this helps

As a result of your advise I have decided to fit a new Screen. I forgot about the insurance!...I only have TPF&T, so , I'll check my access and if it's over 100 quid then Wirral spares will hear from me. ...I'ts got me thinking though, Perhaps If I'd have fitted a new screen when I bought the vehicle 15 years ago or even 10 years ago My eyes may not have deteriorated to the +4 vario focal prescription that I now wear.
Many Thanks -Dil

Check http://www.g-center.nl/ in the Netherlands

I once informed there for a front windscreen price - he had new ones for € 75.0.

Some kind sole has smashed my O/S rear sliding window on my G and nicked my stereo - great. The main issue I am having is replacement glass, does anyone have any suggestions?
