You know I really hate TH-cam repair videos because half of the people are not real techs and just Google crap then decide to make a monotone video of them 1/2 fixing issues and the rest dancing or cursing at random crap. Your video is informative yet includes levity. I have been in business for 20+ years and good on you for making repairs on Mercs a bit more easy for the masses who can't afford to go to us techs.
@@wernerdanler2742 There are a couple of excellent step by step videos on TH-cam I watched so it went well. If it wasn’t for those I would have been in trouble.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but mike I can't wait to see what you do next. You along with some other channels I watch prove that with a few tools and some research that almost anyone can work on their own vehicles. It's just more entertaining to see you do it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also lola is such a great supervisor. Stay safe and God bless.
This is good. I just picked up a 06’ CLK 500. Of course neither rear window works nor the seatbelt concierge. But I just love this body style so it’ll be work the work over time.
Man you were a lifesaver, I just had the window on my CLK550 get stuck half open and it wouldnt move. Used this video step by step and just finished, half of a saturday and saved myself who knows how much from a shop to do the same.
Seems like a lot to undo to get a window regulator installed. Glad you knew how to do it. Love your videos... keep doing what you do! Looking forward to the next video!
Great video Mike, I’m about to follow your step by step process on my 2005 CLK55 AMG cabriolet A209 to fix the rear window regulator First thing I did I ran into trouble. Undid the 2 Phillips tip screws on the door pillar and removed the small plate and rubber seal and pulled down the door seal. Then looked for the little hook that releases the interior door panel. There is none! Maybe MB changed the system on the later cars Can you offer some advice on this or at least, some tips how I remove the panel given no release hook I am able to simply pop off the upper part of the panel but don’t want to start prying things off in case I damage something Thanks
I just rebuilt my rear regulator on my 1999 CL500 (C140). I have a Very good question. I dont see a connector like the one you connected for this up and down feature. Upon reconnecting the motor and rolling the window down for 10 seconds and then, up for 10 seconds (to re-train the motor revolutions). So, in normal operation when the window is up, the rear window is down about 3mm or so, which is standard while the front door is open. Then, BOTH the front and rear window go up (as it should) to create the seal. The issue that I am having is the window goes back down those 3mm and stays that way. Every time I open the door, the same thing occurs. Rear window goes up then half a second later it goes down 3mm and stays down. What is happening, and what may I do to repair this fluke? Your videos were EXCEPTIONAL and very helpful in my rebuild. Cheers on ya for that. I look forward to hearing back from you, sir.
What is the name of the small part in the bag that you use to perform this repair? I searched ''window regulator for the SLK350' but most sites are coming up with the whole assembly for around 350 dollars. Keep up the good work, mate. Your videos are really fun and easy to follow.
@Perry Elyod You mean those plastic popup things that break the first time someone tries to use them? I still have pieces of those somewhere in my 01 e320. Lol
My 85 300d had those and they were bolted in so fairly easy job. My 01 e320 are cable mechanisms and they are riveted. The back are actually not bad. Just 4 rivets. The front is a complex thing with 9 rivets. I've replaced both back ones and right front.
Received my stickers today in the UK, thanks Mike. I'll send pictures in situ tonight on a car you've never seen cos they don't sell in the US unfortunately.
Monkey 🐒 Wrench 🔧 Mike! Oh the Frohlocken is back on! The rear windows on my 1997 S600 Coupe were pretty similar. Same issue, broke plastic which then led to the wire curling up, oh what a job that was! Great job Mike! Your buddy Peter from Kansas
Another great and educational video Mike, but what happened to the update on the Duck's? ☹ Seriously though, you are a braver man than me to tackle something like that, well done Sir. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
Hi my rear quater window won't open all I can hear is a click on that side everytime I try to open it what can it be? Btw the same switch controls the front which works
What a quick little excursus into the world of over-engineering. Thanks. Did you pull the sidebag fuse or unplug the battery? An explosive filled airbag package makes one feel a little uneasy. A thing that no W140 red pig needs, both airbags and uneasy feelings 😁😁
Yesterday I fix my right window but when I push the button doesn't want to go all the way down. Also when I open my door the window go a little down not how it should be. When I push it it goes all the way down whit open door but does not want to do it self. Any idea why? 😢😢😢
I really appreciate your helpful video. My 2002 Mercedes 320CLK convert just needs the back window height adjusted. It goes 1/4 inch higher than the front drivers window and has caused tearing of the rubber molding when put up. Is that a much easier job than the regulator issue? I saw the tree bolts adjustment you spoke of.
I can't really fault the person that opted to wire shut a rarely used window instead of paying big bucks for a proper repair or dedicating 3 days of their life to do it themselves.
Just what type of drugs are the MERCEDES Engineers on where you have to REMOVE an exterior molding that's hiding a bolt so you can take something off INSIDE in order a rear window work and then add spools of wire? HEY, I love the cars but come on with this engineering fiasco! MONKEY WRENCH is SO tolerant an individual and we all learn LOTS from him (plus he's a good guy!) Sonny

Is there anytging on this window that prevents the top from opening all the way, on the convertible version? Like a switch to let the system know when the wi dows are all the way down? This is how far my top gets when opening it. But it did this before the window wouldn't roll down. So not sure if a switch is there or not? Maybe it's just coincidence that this happened right after the top quit working? th-cam.com/users/shorts9Wl-5BqNOwk?feature=share
Overly engineered, unnecessarily complicated and then you use a cheap fragile plastic part for the most critical element! What a load of Rose fertilizer.

You have to wonder who designs some of these systems, regulators used to be two gears and a swing arm. Complexity for no reason

You think this would be the same for a merchedes 2011 e350 convertible but I have to replace just three window
Is there a way to get the window up before you replace the regulator?

That's a $650 repair if undertaken by an independent M-B mechanic. How would I know, you ask?
I remember paying $500 maple dollars for my wifes car for both windows. The mechanic told me he did so many he can do it blindfolded.

Mike that way it goes with people, they rather wire it up instead of fixing it

About how long did it take you start to finish? BTW, GREAT job!
Thank you so much!!!!

Hi, will this process work for the convertible version as well ?
does this also work on a E550 2013 coupe?
Will it work for convertible version or need to take seats

I own a convertible one, to replace on them it’s pain in the ass, way more work than hard top one
Good video!
I didn't see you mention where to buy the part kit used to repair the window.
Can you say where you got it?
RockAuto!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike Thank you!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike I looked under all W209 varieties on RockAuto and couldn't find it.
Do you know what this kit is called by chance?
Man you skipped the part we needed to know. Should have shown how to rig up the cables correctly 🤷♂️
Mike what did you do for the mangled cable and roller on the second one???
You replace them with new parts ,,which come from Turkey or somewhere ,,via ebay.
Didn't show how to install the cable
Good for you Mike that looked like a bitch of a job. So satisfying 🙏
Does anyone know what to do if the window is down and can’t go up instead of the opposite
Did u follow these steps? It’s probably your window regulator u have to check
