I am getting the Mercedes WIS from a friend of mine at a benz dealer. I am going to do a DIY that involves ripping apart the headliner/hat deck and dynamat everything. I've been lucky not having squeaks from the seat but the back of the car, headliner and rear hat deck are annoying the f*ck out of me.

Hopefully the WIS has the info I need to do this and I can make my car ride like new again.

 

My windows dont really squeak when i drive, but they do squeak when i lower the windows and the tint seems to have little vertical cuts in it (?) i imagine re-tinting will be necessary sometime in the future, at which time i will replace the weather stripping which seems to have hardened a bit (which is probably the source of the squeaking).

 

excellent photo guide man.

 

I used a mousetrap to get rid of my sqeaks.

Awesome write up/slide show. I'll this this weekend. Thanks!

 

I'm having the same exact problems when I roll them up or down (driver side) not when I'm driving or anything. I also have my windows tinted and they do leave little scratches on the passenger side like it's rubbing on something, I have warranty on my tint and they are going to redo it tomorrow we'll see how that goes.

 

It is the window seal. Take off the doorpanel and just cover the seal with some felt. Thats what I did immediately after I got them tinted, and almost 2 years later I have no scratches I got the felt at homedepot and cut it to size with a razor and it has adhesive and just sticks nicely to the seal. The seal is like sandpaper and scratches that ****.

 

Any pics/write up of how you did it? I want to get this out of the way as I didn't make it to the tint shop this morning I can work on this ASAP before they work on my tints.

 

i just printed out the WIS sheets for removing the front door door liners. when i get home, ill scan it and post here.

 

the wedge tool thats shown in the second scan (mb part #115 589 03 59 00) works great. you can get it from your dealer and i think its around $6 and makes it so much easier to pop those clips without breaking them

 

Thanks alot BklynBenz, I wish the pics were a bit more clear but it'll work. I'll head to the MB dealer to get that wedge tomorrow and start working on it.

 

hey, did you get the wedge? how much was it?

also, i cut off the little clips on the plastic and it really helped the noises!

 

Very nice King

 

how did you make out?

 

its like $6
