Drivers window closes too far

[snoopstar]

Hi all,

My drivers side front window on my 230 CLK Cabrio (2000) seems to have started closing too far. I noticed when I started finding the door difficult to close and the window not laying flat against the rear window seal. This leaves a gap between the two windows until I open and close the drivers window.

It appears that the drivers window is coming up too far, further than the passenger window. It hits the front roof seal when I shut the door rather than slip under it and it also appears not to drop as far as the passenger side. The windows have the comfort option

I have tried the 10 - 15 second reset holding it in the up and down positions but that hasn't helped. I have also tried adjusting the screws inside the door on the window mechanism but it still travels all the way up until it bangs into mechanical stops with a clunk. The passenger side doesn't make any noise when closing, appearing to stop before any mechanical contact.

Any ideas?

Usually this is caused when the stop has broken or become loose from the window, on the rear of the window.

I cant remember if this can be repaired or its a new regulator or window is required. hopefully some else will have come across this more recently than me.

You may have to take of the door pannel to have a look.
