You don't have to get rude about it. Your posts sure seem to indicate that you've been trying to install the replacement motor and are having problems getting it to fit.
"it's the same as the original"
"it's the original really they just removed the Mercedes logo"
I had a hard time screwing mine in. I believe I ended up removing the plastic panel by the glovebox on the right side of the dash (between the passenger door and the dash). I remove a few other screws. I had to push the dash/plastic in order to get the blower to fit. I think my dash wasn't exactly lined up perfectly, so in order to get the tabs in, I had to push everything around to get it to line up.

Sorry for the late reply, Thank you guys for all of your help it was so easy after unscrewing the (3) screws behind it and ( 2 ) screws under the glovebox
yeah, the problem with the videos is it doesn’t take an account somebody who is 6 foot five with long arms because I can’t get the new one installed. It won’t click in so I just have to put my arm up there and hope for the best so far I’ve tried 1300 times over the last three hours and I’m about ready to give up. There’s a reason why the Mercedes-Benz dealer charges an arm and a leg because no intelligent human being would ever work on a Mercedes. i’m pissed at myself for even buying the parts.
I've replaced mine a few times (aftermarket units were much louder than OEM, after trying two different brands I went back to OEM Benz).
In each case, there was a little plastic tab that prevented the motor from "screwing" in correctly. Compare it side-by-side with the OEM unit you take out.
I had to trim that tab back, and after that it went in "easily", considering you're upside down in the footwell facing upwards.
I ended up testing both motors and not the old blower motor was fine and we could get that back in but the new one we quit so in the older one went. After looking at this CarPlay adapter, I realized I should’ve taken the bus completely out watch the first 30 seconds. It’s really not that difficult and you can eyeball directly what you’re trying to do. 👉👉
