The seating of the SLK does present a challenge, if you have it further back you would have less recline. I guess with so little room to work with, it is a compromise, but may be MB should work out something better.

I still wonder about the issue with the OEM windscreen, it actually has big holes at the bottom that you can see through, I believe more to channel wind to reduce stress on the glass rather than to provide better rear view, so I am at a lost why visibility is an issue. But if it does not work for you then it does not work for you, it's that simple I guess. Good luck with aftermarket windscreen.

The mesh windscreen is actually functional though ugly, I also believe neither BMW nor Porsche provide a plexiglass windscreen as standard equipment, I think MB is just following what their competition is doing.
