Bouncing Door Lock Actuator
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the bouncing door locks with their CLS, similar to the issue found on other models. This is happening consistently on my front passenger side and sporadically on the front driver side.
I'm curious if anyone was able to do the simple "replace the spring" in the door lock actuator successfully or if you ended up having to replace the whole actuator.
I'm looking for instructions and any tips and tricks on how to replace the door lock actuators.

I was able to temporarily fix mine by unscrewing the lock knob and cutting a short piece of tubing that fit over the rod. I dripped some lubricant down to help the rod slide in the rubber boot that is on the actuator. This worked for a little while then it started doing it again. So I removed the door panel and lubricated the boot/rod junction with a silicone lube and haven't had it happen since.
