Actually, it won't. New glass for a 190SL is $500 or you can get a repro for $325. That's from an aftermarket supplier, but they sell OE parts, and I suspect the MB Classic center price isn't much more, if any. When I had to replace the rubber driveshaft carrier on a '58 190SL a few years ago, I was stunned... first that MB still offered the part... I didn't have to buy the whole driveshaft to get it... and it was only about $20! 

Oh, and yes, I'd drop four figures for urq glass if I had to, but I'd certainly grumble about it!
