OMG, this is so exciting and cool, Door controller

Although, I have always enjoyed driving my pre-indicator wing mirror CLK230, it’s always been a bugbear that the doors have never closed properly. After getting in, you have to lower and raise both windows slightly before setting off otherwise you get an intrusive whistling noise in your ear..

NO LONGER! OMG! THIS IS SO COOL!. I replaced driver’s side door controller with a slightly later version and now the window automatically lowers when the door opens and closes after the door is shut.



Here are the parts you need on the left is the old one and the newer one is on the right.

Newer one on right.





Here’s how to remove the door card. This is an excellent video except that it is much easier to remove the chair control switch from the rear of the door card while it’s being taken from the door than before. This usually results in the fake wood surround getting chipped,






Then simply unclip the door controller leads and then remove the controller using your long nosed pliers. Obviously, you just follow this sequence backwards to reinstall.



Enjoy!
