separating RR window from regulator...

467 Views 8 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Merc-S600
hello

for the 1999 s420, we have the regulator rivets removed, and the unit is ready to be removed, save for some difficulty of getting the glass off the regulator track...


is there a clip that needs to be undone...? the glass is approx. six inches open...and, it will not go up or down at this point...unable to 'lift' the glass up and off the track...


thank you...

thank you Merc and Hallivand--we did locate the clip, and the new unit is on the way...

curious thing, though: since receiving the S420 three years ago, we've replaced the regulator apprx. once a year--but, al three times it was the right rear unit, which, in fact, does not get nearly the use of, say, the front passenger...

once the regulator was removed, we tried sliding the window up and down in the track a few times--to determine if it was binding in the tracks (white plastic?)...

it does seem a bit 'stiff' near the lower end, but there may be another issue causing the RR regulator syndrome...

we may try a lubricant on the track...

thanks again, Mate!
By slightly adjusting the sides holding nuts /screws...

the sides are, in fact, adjustable, then...thanks for the insight, and we'll look for those adjustment screws...


much obliged!
