Well, at least I learned my S-class is difficult to break into/steal.....
Shame this had to happen. Some people out there are........(insert your own)
Anyway, I didn't even notice when this happened (the bluish sheen on the windows really hid it well). As I was walking through my garage, I noticed this in the passenger window.......
Figured it couldn't be a rock at that angle causing the damage. The MB dealer confirmed it looked like someone took a chisel to the window in attempt to break in. Unfortunately but fortunately enough, I come to learn the S-class has shatter-proof windows.
Big thumbs up to Prestige MB in NJ and their service. It has simply been top class/notch. They quoted me $1200 for the window, but the service manager said he would pick up the tab under the "worry-free warranty" I bought for 4 years with the car. They also put me in a brand new 2016 GLE 350 4-matic (new M-class) with 25 miles!! Would buy another MB just for the service experience alone thus far. What a difference between this and my dealer experiences from hell with my Corvette!

Glad the dealer took care of you
I noticed dealer service goes a long way. I was away from acura for about 5 years and they don't have a single product I would like to upgrade to
My Lexus service has always been exemplary
My current acura has had almost $5500 worth of work and dealer took care of EVERYTHING, things they didn't have
I want to buy a new acura JUST to continue the dealership relationship
If more dealers understood how to create and maintain relationships they would have a lot more revenue

Dang. That sucks. Fortunately, it didn't cost you any money. Sucks that you had to spend your time having to deal with it though. On another note, can you blame the would be thieves? Your car is rare, even among S Classes. At least I can't say that I've seen another one like it.

bad beginning with a great ending-thankfully it turned out that way since you were completely blameless and a victim of some asshole's lack of respect for others' property.

Thanks brother. I have to let you drive this thing one day when we get together. It is the most amazing machine (non-exotic/full-fledged sports car) Ive had the pleasure of driving. I can't say enough about what an amazing piece MB put together with the new S-class. I was so happy to get her back.
Anyway, this was the loaner they gave me. Amazed at what a nice driving SUV this thing is. You don't feel your speed in this truck whatsoever. But of course, it handles nothing like the S-class, despite putting the adjustable driving knob in the center console to "sport".

These are the places with whom you want to build a rapport. The Hyundai dealer where I take my Elantra takes great care of me to the point that I would consider buying another Hyundai even though the corporate rep is a giant dick.
