Hi All,
By way of introduction...
I am new to this forum but have been reading a few posts over the past few days and am impressed by the knowledge here.
I am a Durban, South Africa based W202 C-Class 250D owner.
It was my mother's car but she can no longer drive.
On the whole it is in fair condition but has needed some repairs -- most recently the driver's door check strap had sheared off off at the lugs. I gas welded them back and so far so good.
I am busy now trying to fix the driver's side front window. It jams and can only be made to go up and down with a lot of help.
I have found a little bit of information on removing the regulator here and elsewhere on the net, but so far nothing like the comprehensive tutorial I need.
I have just drilled out the blind rivets that hold the regulator to the door. One of its arms was attached to a bottom window support (don't know the technical name) with a torx screw. I got it out but am not sure how to proceed further. It looks like the other arm (fastens to the outer right edge of the window; the side closest to the lock) is attached to the bottom support and the side vertical glass channel (again don't know technical name) by a plastic thingy.
Am I right to assume I need to get said plastic thingy (please help with name) off to proceed further with removal and if so how do I do this.
Is there a clip that I am not seeing that can be prised off perhaps?
Also, the electric motor is still fastened to the regulator. Should I unfasten it at this stage.
All help gratefully received.
Regards,
Matthew
