Hi,
I have my MB about six months and today my mother in law opened my rear window and it does not close. When I push the button I hear a sound like something is working, but the window does not close. I was able to pull the window out a little bit and it opened all the way upon the push of a button, but it opened slow and still made some weird sounds. I wonder if the window just slipped of the mechanism or if there is more serious problem. I am in Sacramento, CA and wondered if you know somebody who deals with this kind of stuff or whether it is something I could fix myself. By the way, what is the good repair book for E320?
Thank you
Karel

search the W210 Forum using keywords "window regulator" for descriptions and
pics on how to repair. quite basic and straight forward a fix. a horribly weak
point in the 210s.

Thanks for the reply,
I found the great DIY website, but it does not explain how to remove the window from the regulator. Also, in my case, it seems that that it is just the wire came off the top of the roller and gets rolled on the motor in different directions. I managed to pull the window about 3/4 up, but I cannot seem to roll it up all the way. The glass is secured to the regulators with some rubber sealant and it seems to hold pretty good. Any ideas? BTW, it is 1999 wagon E320 if I did not mention it earlier.
Thanks
Karel

There is a plastic clip on the guide that must be removed to allow the regulator to slide off the window channel.....

The (WIRE) is loose because the plastic roller is broken...Its The Window Regulator! Order the regulator and Rivets..dont forget to replace the plastic water liner at the door...

Ive Done LOTS of them...bad design!

I'm no mechanic, but this happened to me in my 2001 E320 Mercedes Sedan. I had to have my rear window motor replaced and it was around $273. Good Luck.

My horn and A/C Control has suddenly stopped working and I need to know which fuse to replace to get it going again. My mechanic would charge me $20 to tell me or change the fuse and it's not shown on the guide covering the fuses. Sigh

there are 2+ fuse charts: one tucked behind panel on left end of dash, one in engine compartment under fuse box lid, and one under rear seat within that
fuse box.
