SLK Door Alignment

[mcintbg]

Can anyone help with tips on how to align the drivers door ?
No matter what I do I can not get the glass to press against the seal .

Hi,
U need to take the trim off and there are two stoppers to stop the window from going up too high. Makesure these are set ok. The check the window is not sliding off the rail...

Thanks for replying Jay, will get the trim off and see what I can adjust.

I think you might find that the rails themselves can also be adjusted slightlyat the very base of the rails there is a screw which can be adjusted to tilt the glass slightly towards the body of the car thus creating a tighter seal.

A word of warning however, I've been playing around with the pillarless window adjustment on my W124CE for over a year and still haven't managed to get it perfect.

Spike, you are correct the rails can be adjusted with the screw. I am glad to report the windows now dont leak !
Thanks

Help

I have the same problem, just bought the car and I had a problem with the drivers window jamming, MB fixed the problem but left me with a 3mm gap.

I took the car back and they have told me that thet have re-ajusted the door window and should now be ok, when I looked at the window it still not right compared to the other side. MB said thats the best its ever going to be, do remeber its a four year old car.


Tired of MB, as they had the car 4 weeks for prep, and still everyting that needed doing was at the last minute.

I noticed on one of the reply's that the trim needs to come of, do you mean the door panel ????

Could you supply brief instructions.

Thanks
