Description of the problem | Windshield was broken october 2016. Replacement windshield made by ppg is defective and has a color reflective strip that in my line of sight. This car cannot be driven at night. They have put 4 ppg windshields in the car and all are bad. Mercedes benz have determined that the glass made by ppg for replacement in the united states is not the same as what is coming out of the factory in germany. I still waiting to try to get correct glass from germany. Mercedes will not ship one out. |
