Window regulator

[JFINK907]

So some bolt on the window mechanism broke and I'm getting stumped on where this level was attached too. I looked through my manual and multiple searches but maybe someone has a diagram or knows where it goes. In the second picture it is the piece with the empty hole. Thanks

There used to be (maybe it is still available) a Mercedes part that can be used to fix that. Do a forum search for window regulator and you should find it. There were some threads on it a bunch of years ago.

Okay thanks! I looked at my other door and it goes behind the plate with the 3 screws by the hand crank. Idk if it is actually fixable or if I need a whole new window regulator, which I'll take a look now that I'm done working for the night. Thanks!!

Mike Self has a method for fixing that. I have also seen a method where a bolt head  is ground and a slot added for the spring. Just looked in my photos and only have a picture of the other side of that rivet. That's rectangular and secured in the hole by bending opposing corners.

Here's the repair kit you need.  Still available as of last November.

Thanks you guys! Much appreciated!

If the pin that retains the spring has sheared or worn out, drop me a PM--I did a column on how to repair that by modifying a steel bolt, which will last a lot longer than the original pot metal part...

It's sheared. Pmd

The parts are still in production for future references. If people have this problem later on.

Pin is a hair to big. Drilled out hole with a .358 drill bit and it's fits and works like a charm. Great work guys.

Wow! The circlip costs more than double the cost of the pin.

It looks like you need another one here 

 

I am getting ready to install this one in my passenger door, so the window will finally roll all the way up.

Ahhh smart thinking! I'll have to do that

Bumping this with a question.  I just did this and there is play along the length of the pin (it's too long).  Before I put a spacer washer in there, does anyone have an alternative thought?
