Drivers window regulator failed
Have been reading about all the rear windows failing, but my drivers side front window regulator has failed. I've replaced plenty of manual and electrical window regulators in other cars, but never a W210.
Any special watch-outs? What about the airbag that's in the door panel? I don't exactly want to activate it while removing the door panel!

All the window needed was some silicone lube
Could tell the motor ran OK when the window was going down, so that made me rethink the problem. Turned out that a bit of silicone lubricant in the window tracks took care of the problem!
I made a point of lubricating ALL the window tracks after this episode....

Passenger side front regulator
I've done a search with no luck finding how to replace front regulators. I've changed both the rears and I'm aware the front uses the scissor type. Can anyone help me out with the install process or some tips if any. Where is the failure on the scissor type. Thanks everyone in advance!

Watch it couple times and you are set to replace your own

I just did mine. I'll lend you the rivet gun, torx wrenches, and the extra 5000 rivets that come in the package (you only need 4)
