my 2004 clk 320 has an issue with the short-stroke on the driver's side, rear window. the front window actuates just fine, but the rear only moves *down* a few mm when you open the door, it doesn't move back at all.

I've pulled the power window fuses, and also re synced the windows by holding the switches up/down for a few seconds after a full stroke to sync the encoders.

I've heard there's some sort of window tension adjustment bolt hidden under the chrome trim panel on the fender, will that help? and can anyone advise me on how to remove that trim piece (without breaking the tabs) and if there are any mfg specs that it should be "tensioned" to?

all help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

You may have a bad window regulator, but there are adjustments that can be made:

have to remove the rear side panel to access the regular and make adjustments there:
