Front windscreen panel rusty
Hello
I am restoring my W463 SWB petrol wagon
The front windscreen has been removed to reveal a very rusty lower front panel.
Does anyone know of a company (apart from MB) who can supply a repair panel ?
Alternatively I wondered if anyone know of a G wagon that is being broken for spares?
any ideas ?

Have you checked the price from MB ? Body panels are not too expensive usually.
You can get (Chinese?) pattern parts (look on eBay) but then it will take you a while to get them to fit properly and the metal will rust again pretty quickly.
Just my opinion, but if you are going to the trouble to restore, you might as well do it properly.
new one from mb is approx £50 !!!!
exterior screen frame is £100 !
ive replaced a few of these
Me too
kindly dropped off by Graham
Cut and fitted in exactly the same place. For the money and it fits properly why by pattern parts. Easy job its just removing all the dash that is the hard part

Is inside rotten behind the dash ? Tho you might need to remove instrument panel or / and dash top to get an idea, does it have air con?
Probably too late, but the internal panel I think is much cheaper in lhd form.?
Hi there
I went to Hughes of Beaconsfield this morning to order these two repair panels.
The guys were very helpful but could not find any reference to the panels.
Could you please let me know the part numbers, or names, or categories?
(Anything that will help them find the right items, basically)
Thank you.

Brilliant. Thank you so much for putting this up.

If anyone wants one fitted , give me a bell
thank you so much for the info guys,
I asked at MB and they came up with a panel that cost £1,200 pounds!
I was thinking,that MB must have a repair panel as it is a common problem on these vehicles.
so grateful ... for the help
I will get myself off to MB tommorrow !!!
Thanks again
