Driver Side window won't go up
I own a '99 430 CLK and the driver's side window won't go up. Hope no one will mention it's the coldest it has been in FL in a decade. Don't I know it. The window motor seems fine. Fuses?...regulator?...please, someone give an idea that won't cost $200.

Are you trying the auto up feature? If so then just try lightly pressing the button instead of clicking it too hard for the auto up feature. Sometimes the window needs to be reset and the auto-up option wont work.
If this still doesnt work then the fuses would be the first place I would start.

Hello to all, as this is my first post here!
My driver side window also won't go up if I don't help it by the hand pulling up from the front of the glass (near A-pillar).
I found someone here who solved it without buying the whole regulator assembly:
Here is the original post

My drivers window stopped working. I could push the window down and pull it up by hand. But I could still hear the motor working(whrrrrr up, whrrrr down).
I took the door panel off(find the steps here in the w208 diy section) in order to check it out. I could see the mechanism moving with the window, but couldn't figure it out, so I removed the whole regulator assembly(I think I had to search this entire site and ended up with instructions from an E-class sedan, it was close enough).
It turned out that the cheapy spot welds that hold the main arm of the reg. and the body of the reg. together had failed.
FIX- I drilled a few holes with a small drill bit and mixed up some JB Weld. I put a couple of tiny self tapping screws in it with JB weld in the threads and also some weld in a couple of other drilled holes. Note:make sure the screws don't protrude too far and interfere with the body of the regulator.
Also: go to the dealer and buy the oem rivets in order to reinstall the regulator. 67cents each.
Works like new.
