DIY - Cracking Rubber Windshield Trim (lower) - Benzworld.org

Anyone else besides me have this issue?

The black rubber strip that runs along the bottom of my outer windshield is cracking and falling apart. It looks really nasty. Have any of you ever replaced or needed to replace this rubber strip?

I saw a used E320 on a dealer's lot with that problem. You're right, it looks like Hell, and I wish you luck getting that remedied. It made me want to treat my own rubber right away!

210.831.0958 - $20.00
210.831.1058 - $20.00

Goodluck,

Joe, if that is only 1 piece, why the 2 part numbers?

What I meant is the plastic & the rubber are one piece (not seperated) .

2 part numbers beacuse you need left & right side.

Sorry for the confusion I should have explained better (that's why I quoted him on my first reply)

No problem Joe, and thanks for the clarification.

does that fix help with the wind noise coming from the front? i get wind noise on and off at 75 to 80 mph

Whew, I just installed the new pieces. Not as easy as I anticipated because I couldn't get the screw hole to line up. After playing around with it, I finally got it to fit.

Practically all older model of E320, perhaps, upto 2002 will have same problem. I had mine replaced also. E350 is tatally different from E320.
