I checked out this thread

https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...ing-noise.html

that talks about the bolts under the door and they are all there. I tried tightening them but they move freely left and right

I have not removed the whole door panel btw I don't have enough knowledge to mess with it, just the rubber plugs on the bottom!

Anyone with a similar problem or an idea for a quick fix?!


Thanks

Sounds like the bottom part of the regulator has broken.

Yup got it checked out at the dealer today and the regulator it is!!!
Dealer wants 520 to change it lmao.
Gonna look into buying the part online and do a DIY

Rudeney

It's not a bad DIY. You will want a rivet tool.

Clkboi

so correct me if i am wrong!!!
The only way to get the rivets out is by drilling them???

Also here are instructions on how to remove the regulator if anyone else needs them.

That is generally how rivets are removed from most anything. A nice fresh drill bit makes quick work of them. Once you cut through the "shoulder" of the rivet it basically falls out. If you push the bit all the way through the hole, make sure the bit is not larger than the hole because you don't want to make the hole bigger. Get a rivet tool - pretty cheap - and new rivets to match (aluminum or steel). Pay attention to whether the rivets use a washer on the back side. You might use washers even if they are not there now - it pulls everythign up real tight.
