First Class Windshield Protection FAQs

Price

Is this plan expensive for just windshield coverage?

We understand cost concerns when investing in a Mercedes-Benz. The First Class Windshield Protection plan, typically costing $1,165–$4,445 depending on your vehicle and term, is a one-time fee that covers unlimited windshield replacements up to a $5,000–$8,000 aggregate limit, with no deductible or mileage restrictions.

 

A single OEM windshield replacement can cost $2,500–$6,000 due to the advanced glass and technology in your Mercedes. By financing this into your monthly payments, it’s a small addition that protects you from hefty out-of-pocket expenses, often paying for itself with one claim.

Can I get a similar plan cheaper elsewhere?

Third-party windshield plans might seem less expensive, but they often involve reimbursement hassles, non-OEM glass, or service at non-authorized facilities, which can compromise quality or void warranties.

 

Our plan, backed by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, ensures repairs use original glass at authorized dealerships, with no out-of-pocket costs beyond the initial fee. The convenience and quality make it a premium choice that matches your vehicle’s standards.

What if the plan’s term is too short for my needs?

The plan’s term is flexible (up to 84 months) aligning with most ownership or lease periods, and there are no mileage limitations. This ensures long-term protection as your vehicle ages and becomes more susceptible to damage.

 

Since it’s only available at the time of purchase, securing it now locks in coverage for years, tailored to how long you plan to keep your Mercedes-Benz.

What if I sell my car? Will the plan go to waste?

Not at all! The plan is fully transferable to a new private owner or lessee for a $40 fee, which can boost your vehicle’s resale value by up to $500, as buyers appreciate the added protection. Whether you sell privately or trade in with our store, the coverage stays with the vehicle, making it a valuable feature that enhances your Mercedes-Benz’s appeal.

Insurance

My auto insurance already covers windshield damage, so why do I need this?

Comprehensive auto insurance may cover windshield damage, but it often involves a $500+ deductible and could lead to premium increases after a claim.

 

Our plan has no deductible, doesn’t affect your insurance rates, and provides seamless service at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships or repair facilities. It’s designed for convenience, covering chips, cracks, or stars from road debris without the hassle of insurance claims, saving you time and money.

Doesn't the factory warranty cover windshield issues?

The Mercedes-Benz new vehicle warranty is excellent for manufacturing defects, but it doesn’t cover damage from road hazards like rocks or debris, which are the primary causes of windshield chips and cracks.

 

First Class Windshield Protection steps in specifically for these incidents, ensuring your front windshield is replaced with original Mercedes-Benz glass, maintaining safety and clarity for the duration of the plan (up to 60 months or more).

Why do repairs require prior authorization?

This step ensures claims are processed correctly and that repairs meet Mercedes-Benz’s high standards, using OEM glass at authorized facilities. The process is quick and handled seamlessly through our dealership or service providers, often with same-day approvals, so you’re back on the road with minimal delay.

 

It’s a small step that guarantees quality and protects your investment.

Practicality

I’m a careful driver and live in an area with good roads, so do I really need this plan?

Even cautious drivers can’t avoid unpredictable hazards like gravel from trucks, construction debris, or small stones kicked up on highways. Windshield damage is one of the most common repair claims for luxury vehicles, and a single chip can spread into a costly crack.

 

This plan provides peace of mind, ensuring that no matter where you drive, your visibility and vehicle value are protected without unexpected repair bills.

The coverage seems limited—it only covers the front windshield?

You’re right that it focuses solely on the front windshield, but that’s intentional to target the most vulnerable and critical part of your vehicle for safe driving. Damage from propelled rocks or debris is common, and replacements are expensive due to the advanced glass and sensors in Mercedes-Benz windshields.

 

The plan offers unlimited service calls (up to the $5,000–$8,000 limit) with no mileage cap, providing comprehensive protection where it’s needed most.

I’m worried the plan won’t cover enough types of damage?

The plan is designed to cover the most common windshield issues—chips, cracks, and stars caused by road hazards like rocks or debris—with no limit on service calls until the $5,000–$8,000 aggregate cap is reached.

 

While exclusions like vandalism or stress cracks apply, these are less frequent and often covered by insurance. This plan complements your insurance, focusing on high-cost, high-frequency repairs to keep your driving experience clear and safe.
