windscreen

hi, I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but I recollect that when pressing the unlock button on key and the lights flashing, there were a couple kinda in front of the rear view mirror on the windscreen that flashed. I thought they looked quite good when approaching car from front. I notice I...

Hi, Had a windscreen replaced by Auto Windscreens last week on my 2013 (W204) C250 AMG Sport Plus Estate (standard car, no options added). Got a standard 'the safety camera may need to be re-calibrated' warning and also a letter landed after the screen was replaced to the same effect. Anyway...

Hi to all, My wife and I have recently purchased the above vehicle for her. It was an indulgent purchase and had a couple of known faults - Louvred sunroof not opening, Rear door lock not opening from inside and front passenger door lock 'bouncing' - both locks replaced by used car dealer. I...

The wife pointed out to me today that my windscreen has been signed by Carl Benz - has anyone else noticed if their screen has been signed ?

Hello, I am a noobie here and to mercs. I recently bought my first merc, a 2006 Viano after having BMW for a while. I have a problem - very bad radio reception. The vehicle has a Comand NTG2, with cd changer etc. Does this model use the windscreen as an antenna as I have seen on some...

As above people I have a mercedes w115 1975, the screen has a crack so i've contacted my insurance, they arranged to come out on wednesday to fix it anyway I get a call today saying they cant source a new screen!! Also they said it can take upto 4 weeks! They've said if I find a screen they'll...

Hi, in the process of having my windscreen replaced, I got the VIN number partially erased...:doh::mad::wallbash: Apart from being annoyed by such unprofessional service, can I get in trouble for this? MOT, police? In case I should get the sticker replaced, where can I get this done...

Hi Just noticed my front windscreen washer does not pump water to the screen. I have topped up the water,still no joy, infact when the stalk is pushed the wipers work as normal but can't hear the pump running. The head lamp washers function ok.No error messages are present!! Any ideas chaps ??

Just wondering if anyone's thought about converting to the fan type washer jets that let a nice wide stream out all over the screen rather than the current old style jets. I've had the fan type on a few Vws and rate them TIA

I was wondering whether it was possible to redirect the water jets as mine are too low. I have looked in the paper handbook and the electronic version and can find no reference to it. In the old days you just stuck a pin into the nozzle and redirected it, but this doesn't look possible on the E...

Just come back from a few days away to find a nice 8 inch crack along my windscreen along with a small chip... Really odd, no other damage at all on the car. Its like someone hit it with a hammer :mad: Anyway, called insurance co, straight through to autoglass. They claim to offer the exact...

Has anyone replaced one of these recently and could recommend a fitter who knows what they are doing.

Hi, just wondered if anyone has encountered a similar issue. My W209 CLK has an issue where if I press the indicator stalk to activate the washers nothing appears to happen. Wipers do not move nor any spray. The wipers work fine other than this. I did initially think it was a dodgy pump but...

Hi All, Need you collective advice on getting a replacement windscreen for my AMG. I drove to work today and got hit by stone thrown up by an artic lorry !!! Now have a nice crack along the screen :mad: So, a replacement need to be sourced without remortgaging the family home. My car is a...

Does anyone have a good windscreen wiper mechanism to fit a 1989 r129 500SL for sale please?! It doesn't matter if the motor is burned out as mine is fine. Steve

Dear All My R129 wiper is playing up - sometimes it would work fine, sometimes stopping at random points on the screen. Now it does one sweep and parks on the wrong side. I'm trying to locate the relay as it's NOT above the fuse box as in later models. Mine has the old 'bullet' fuses and the...

I just had my windscreen replaced on my 07 C180 coupe. It was all fine with the old glass but with the new the lights stays ON on Auto during the day. Did they damage something when replacing the windscreen? The new windscreen is unfortunately not a genuine MB glass but thats different story why...

Evening all. The LHS windscreen wiper on my '03 W211 leaves a little wedge of unwiped screen in front of the passenger. The driver's side is fine. The blades are nearly new Bosch Aeros, and I have tried swapping them over, but it makes no difference. I can't see a possible bodge, so I...

Cleaned the windows this morning only to find a crack on the lower part of my windscreen :(. Have spoken to my insurance and they have said I can have a genuine Mercedes windscreen all I have to do is choose who to fit it out of the 4 that they approve. Could anybody tell me what ones to stay...

Just noticed a crack in the windscreen of my 220CE - top corner driver's side, edge-to-edge, about 8-10cm total length. I think it's new, haven't noticed before, and the car passed MOT a couple of weeks ago so that's not an immediate problem.. Is this illegal? MOT fail next time round? What...
