How do you remove the rear window switches without breaking them? I was following Mr. Tummala's instructions for the extender arm repair, and now it is working, thankfully, but I have no working window
:(

I cannot find the replacement part online (I can only find the window switch that goes in the console, no wires attached or anything.) If anyone could give me a link, I would be most thankful.

The switches have to be pried out of the arm. If you press the switch, the side of the switch that is raised has a notch showing. GENTLY pry this side a little, then press the switch the other way and pry a little more. It will come out. Once it starts coming out, I use a thin piece of metal (dull exacto knife blade) to pry on the top and bottom edges of the switch.

The windows should still work via the console switches.

The rear window switches in the grip arms are part number 126-820-65-10 (left) and 126-820-66-10 (right)

  1. Hard time inserting key in driver door...help

    W126 S,SE,SEC,SEL,SD,SDL Class
    1988 560SEL I HAVE 3 keys and all do the same. It won't insert all the way unless I wiggle it around. Sometimes takes me a good 15 seconds of fiddling. Other door and trunk and ignition no problems. Does it need grease?

  2. $700 1983 280SE Euro - Where's the K-Jet?

    W126 S,SE,SEC,SEL,SD,SDL Class
    There is no K-jet, this car had a carburetor swap done - done well actually aside from cold starts being fickle and no choke control inside the cabin. So well in fact that I can put it back to K-Jet without too much fuss by the looks of things. Replaced the front passenger side marker...

  3. Performance rear sway bar

    W126 S,SE,SEC,SEL,SD,SDL Class
    I have been approached by a member looking for more performance rear sway bars. Historically, there has been enough interest for an order every year around this time, so I figured I'd post this to gauge interest. I need at least 8 more confirmed buyers to place an order. Last batch was $230...

  6. 300SEL No Start - HELP!!!!

    W126 S,SE,SEC,SEL,SD,SDL Class
    Hello everyone; Recently acquired a 1988 300 SEL with 93K miles from an auction (the car was not running). The car cranks and I even got it to run after long cranking. She would run as long as I kept the RPM around 2000, but as soon as I let go of the gas she would begin to stall at about 400...
