Anyone still have the original signature sticker on windshield?
I had to replace the windshield on my 1983 300D W123, so now I don't have that signature sticker on the passenger side of the glass.
The sticker that Mercedes is using today is still readily available (even on ebay), but I prefer the old style. It has the signature, then says "A Mercedes-Benz Product" above the writing in pretty large bold type. (The new one has it below the writing in much smaller type.) This is a ridiculously trivial item, but I'd love to restore this detail. If anyone has this sticker on their 80s-era Mercedes, I'll pay you if you scrape it neatly off your windshield. Please? ![]() |

yes and no....
My current car does not; however, past cars have. I can't imagine being able to scrape it off "neatly".

Dealer sells them for about $2.50.....I had to buy two of them when my original windshield got smashed by a rock, the next windshield cracked after 2 months, and now I have one thats been ok. So I am on my 3rd sticker.
![]() ![]() ![]() Just ask for the "windshield MB signature sticker" at the parts counter....they should know what you mean.

Mine's missing it and I didn't know the dealer still had them. Will be getting one next time I'm near the place for sure.

My '99 has it in large type above the signature, so it couldn't have been that long ago when they switched. Part number starts with 129.

I always keep a couple around. The dealer is very good about any little miniscule part I ever need.

About a year ago I bugged the local dealer for one with the 115 prefix and Wow! they said they found one in a body shop that subscribed to their inventory. There were none in Germany or anywhere. It was a fluke they found the one. so I said Yes! get it please! They called and said it was received and unfortunately it was left on the counter for a few days then when I stopped by to get it it was gone! someone pilfered it! (it had to be an employee ![]() ![]() I am pretty sure that was the last 115 prefix window sticker that there was UNLESS perhaps some kind person reading this post happens to have one in which case Please Email, PM or telepathy to me ASAP! I want to replace the windshiel in my 115 and the original sticker would be nice!

Ditto - but I don't think there's any way to get it off in one piece....
