Need to fix MB window in NJ
Our 98 E 320 rear passenger side window is broken. I have removed the door panel and figured out that the cable is frayed and twisted and needs to be replaced. The white pulley/gear that attaches to the motor housing also needs to replaced as does some guides for the track. The car has 52000K miles and as such is out of warranty. Im sure MB will charge an arm and a leg to repair the problem. I don't have the time nor tools to repair the problem myself. Can anyone recommend any shops in the NJ area (I live in Millburn/Short Hills area) that can fix this problem for a reasonable price.

I went to a couple guys today all the estimates were around 275 (240-300). The part costs about 170 and labor as you can guess varies. I don't think I can fix it myself because the motor and guide are held in the door my rivets. I dont have a tool to remove them or to push the new rivets in without risking a dent in the door.
The oddest thing is that my motor is intact so all I need is the guide (actuator). For just about every other MB model you can get the motor and the guide separately (guide is about $65-80). For the E class however the guide and motor are sold together (unless someone can find just the guide for me).
Any suggestions as where I should go???
