I cannot thank you enough for this. Our driver side window would not go up at the end of a camping trip, making for a very long ride home. I'm waiting on the replacement part, but was able to get all the door panels and assemblies apart by watching this video. I expect to install the replacement part within a week, and I went ahead and ordered a second replacement part for when the passenger side fails. Thank you. UPDATE: Part went in just as shown, works well, saved a few hundred dollars by doing this myself. Thank you again!
Very well done video. One thing I might add, make sure you have something to get a lot of torque for removing the window regulator T-30 bolts, MB put some lock-tight on those T-30 bolts and a hand screwdriver didn't cut it. I put a locking wrench on an extender holding the T-30 driver and it finally broke free. A home DIYer can do this with just a few tools. Lo-and-behold, the brass parts just came in the mail, so now have to finish up. Someone also has a 3-D printed snap on slider, that eliminates cutting the bolt off. If anyone tries that, I'd love to know how that turns out.
You do not have to remove the regulator assembly if you just use a Dremmel cut off disc for the old stud and new bolt sticking out. You do not have to drill out the the stud remnant if you punch it out. Just put a socket behind the hole slightly bigger than the back of the stud, braced with a block of wood, punch it out with an old Phillip's screwdriver or smaller diameter bolt. I did it that way and avoided all of that disassembly in 20 minutes!
Great video. Straight and to the point with no fluff. More of these type videos need to be like yours. Thank you!

I simply drilled out the post and used a 1 inch carriage bolt with a nylon washer and two nuts.

I used a 1/4" drive ratchet, extension and torx socket.
I used a t30 and it stripped two head sockets. Now I'm really screwed. Where can I get the snap on plastic part?

thanks for the tip, I just followed your advice, and it was the easiest thing to do.
Great job 👍👍👍👍
