[W126 Coupe] Replacing windshield on W126

[Markus Meyer]

I find this very hard to believe.  Call your insurance company (assuming you
have comprehensive coverage or glass coverage).  Otherwise, call the yards,
Potomac German Auto has a place in Maryland, another one in Florida, they
specialize in foreign cars and may have one.

Otherwise, get on Benzworld, and Peachparts (.com).  I saw several SECs
being parted out there.  Unfortunately the glass on mine was broken.
