Has anyone here replaced the drivers side window switch?
I have a 2003 SL500. the $0.04 "rod" that keeps the drivers side window switch from coming loose, while still being able to go back and forth, is broken or missing from my switch.
My STEALERSHIP (Brumos Mercedes in Jacksonville, FL) has quoted me a lovely price of $295
I can get the window switch from Parts.com for $130
How easy is it to replace that switch? It appears there is a quick disconnect type of "plug" on that. If I get the door panel off, I'm presuming this is a pretty cut and dry operation .. is that so?
Thanks guys! I Appreciate any and all efforts to not fund my stealership!

Hi everyone,
I have just bought a 2008 R230. I have noticed the drivers window switch is not sitting correctly and wish to take it out and see what the problem is and then correctly install again.
I have already taken the door card off the car, but don't want to pry the switch off with force, so thought I should ask here first!
Thank you!
