w219 CLS 320- Distronic and Keyless
Door handles.
Hey guys,
just a a quick one, can the keyless go door handles be swapped side to side and front to back, or are there some constraints. One is not working on the drivers door, and I wanna use the rear one.
Thanks in advance.

The handle itself is the same on each side except the semi interior section which pulls the mechanism which unlocks the door so they cannot be swapped front to read (the front is "L" shaped the rear "U" shaped). They also cannot be swapped from left side of car to right side or vice versa. The handle itself means the part you pull out- in the Keyless go version it has the two switches inside which unlock the doors when pulled and lock them with the small black button close to the end. On the exterior of the door handle you have four parts- the handle, the end, and two gaskets which seal those parts. The drivers door end will have a key cylinder in it, the back doors will not. There are Youtube clips which have shown how to fix non functioning keyless door handles, but after spending three plus hours trying I've decided to just buy a used handle- that's far easier than pulling the handle apart and trying to repair it.
