These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Going or new hood with heated rear glass which should made winter driving easier its with cemoore can't wait alo got a lat battery [

POST 3Original post

I'm glad in that case my Mercedes has a glass window! I hadn't even considered that plastic would be an issue though. I know many people that have had plastic replaced like for like, but haven't heard of anyone who upgrades sorry

POST 4Original post

The only downside to the glass-windowed replacement hoods is that the rear window is smaller than the plastic one. The mechanism on the earlier cars won't allow a glass screen the same size as the later models. It changes the look a bit - some prefer it and others don't. Personally, I would want the hardtop on in winter, but I'm not a cabrio type. I helped a chap out with a diagnostic test on a 997 cabrio last week. He drove all the way from Leicester with the top down!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got it back yes the heated glass is a god send in this weather also easier to scrape than the plastic although smaller still functional
