I just purchased a 1998 SL500. Please give me your thoughts on a windscreen. Also, where is the best place for me to purchase one and how much should I expect to pay.

 

Congrats on your new-to-you car!

In my opinion, and I suspect a majority, the windscreens work quite well, in addition to looking great on the car. As far as source(s) I think ebay and craigs list would be the first two places I'd try. If I were buying new, I'd use Mercedes Benz of Anaheim. They have a wholesale parts dept and you can get a quote from them via their website or contact Don Tibbets. His contact info is on the site under the parts/wholesale parts team links. Good Hunting

Mine came included with my SL600, (they include every option as standard except leather seats) It works very well when I take my wife and she doesn't want her hair mussed, but otherwise I dont bother using it as I have to get it out of the special place in the trunk and put up the roll bar to mount it.
