I suspect I know which pice of metal has fallen off. There are two stoppers, one each end of the door to limit how high the window go. The bolts seems to be made of cheese, undertighten and they vibrate off, overtighten and they snap.

I'm sorry but I couldnt say how to remove your door card on an SLK but it cant be hard.

Thanks Spike. you are correct the two stoppers had come adrift, refitted them using aroldite. I found the retaining screws after a long search
2 were behind the armrest/doorpull and 1 was behind the airbag badge Cheers.
