Following a loud bang while driving on the interstate, I discovered that the left rear door glass had been hit by something that cracked it. Damned road debris! Why don't they have high speed sweepers deployed on interstates to prevent this kind of thing? Where are my taxes going?
The white blob in the window is the infant grandson's rear facing car seat.
I have searched the Encyclopedia for tips on how to remove and replace the window but have come up empty. I found the video in the Encyclopedia on removing the door panel (included at the bottom for quick access) so that's a start. The only DIY's that I could find for removing the glass from ANY Mercedes-Benz® was a PDF for a W204 (2009 C300) and this video for a W124, shown below. The W204 removes it from the outside and the W124 comes from the inside. If anyone has knowledge of a better DIY that is specific to the W220, feel free to chime in.

It happened late so I will be contacting my insurance company to see if it's covered under my comprehensive plan that protects the windshield but
A. It might not be so I'm getting a jump on this request, especially since it seems to not exist anywhere on the interwebs and...
B. If it is covered don't want some piece of Safelite® glass and if they won't let me take it to the dealership, I might try to salvage one from the pick and pull. I dunno.
