windscreen

Dare I use auto glass to change the screen on my R129? Anything I should watch with care?

I got sent two sets, anyone want a set? PM me if interested...

Hi guys. Ive started cleaning my new-to-me W209 CLK Cabrio but I don't seem to be able to get the black screen surrounds to look good. They have what look like water marks on them and though I've used a bumper care and renovator they look only OK and greasy. I've found by wiping them with...

Can anyone tell me out to remove the outer windscreen trim panel that runs along the edge of he front windscreen from the wing to the roof? Is it held on by clips that need to be replaced? If so does anyone know the part number? Thanks

Help! I have been trying to lubricate the windscreen wiper slide mechanism on my 124. My car has a metal tortoise shell,not plastic. There is one screw on the underside which I have removed and this will allow the wider end of the shell to lift but not the top end where the blade attaches...

Hello, not sure where to post this so ended up here. The hard top roof on my '93 SL500 won't release but on the button but my question isn't about that. The screen got hit by a stone last week and needs to be replaced. The question is (and maybe its a stupid one) but should the screen be...

Hi, I noticed a 5mm break in the aerial wire on the right hand side antenna. Can you buy a link to join it, or does it need to be replaced? Seems same thickness wire as the rear screen demister. thanks

Any suggestions on how to polish out a sort of acid etch effect which is pretty much all over the windscreen I have tried autoglym screen polish to no avail Thanks

The windscreen washer bottle on my ML55 is being replaced by the dealer because it leaks and therefore useless. So I'm waiting for the new one. In the meantime I took it off and discovered the rubber gromets for the pumps are in poor condition. Also hairline cracks are where the securing lug is...

Good morning guys i was just wondering ? On my 2004 Clk convertible i have a black plastic cover strip that seems to be bonded to the windscreen and covers up to the roof seal. My question is:Does anyone know how this is fixed as mine seems to be lifting from the seal not by much but enough to...

I am trying to sell my W208 Mercedes and would have sold it tens times over by now but the crack in the windscreen puts everyone off (even though they can claim on there insurance) where can I get one from?????? please help as I am trying to move and don't need any more stress from cars.

The windscreen wiper of my SL has begun working incredibly slowly. Irrespective of what speed you set the stalk to, the wiper takes apx 30secs to complete a single wipe action. Any ideas on what's to blame, or advice on what I can check? Or am I best to assume that it's the wiper motor? If...

I got a chip in the windscreen of the RR Sport without noticing and after my wife has driven over a speed hump at 60mph, it turned to an unrepairable crack. The windscreen is heated (little wires running through the screen) and my car has auto lights and wiper sensors. My insurance policy...

As the title says. Don't want to make big changes to the dash - well as little as possible really, so what type of speakers can I slip in there while the screen is out - anything that springs to mind as a must have....?? Regards to all, W.

I had to use the screen washers for the first time today, and they are set far too low, hardly hitting the screen. On previous cars, it's been a simple job to adjust with a pin, but these seem to spray in a fan shape, and the jets aren't easily get-attable, it seems. The car is a new C220...

A rather large object on the motorway has left a scuff ( not a chip or scratch) about the size of a 20p coin on the windscreen. Any suggestions to remove or reduce the appearance? I know there is an internet myth about using toothpaste. Of course there is the 'use a hammer and claim on...

hi everyone, just wondering if anybody ever bought a right front wing from Eurocarparts and fitted it, and how the fitment was, as i have seen another W123 who had a left front wing which didnt appear to fit very well at the front top.?????? Also got a problem with wipers, they have been coming...

My windscreen is 8 years old and has lots of tiny (micro) chips and abrasions. Is there anything you can do to polish these out or improve the smoothness of the glass again?

Hi, Easy question, should the filler neck of the windscreen washer bottle have a gauze type filter fitted? Other cars I have owned have had this feature seated in a removable insert , but my R129 doesn't, seems odd. Regards Paul

Right so I was driving along a dual carriageway today with a grass verge in the middle, approaching two council workers who are strimming the grass. I thought to myself I hope that a stone does not fly and hit my car. Right enough just as I am passing them a stone was flicked up and has...
