Re: [MBZ] Best way to trouble shoot window, 1979 240D
Obviously I have been off list for a few days. I read all the way down to 'Front passenger window' before I realized this wasn't another Windows / Mac discussion such as was going on when I left..

Re: [MBZ] Best way to trouble shoot window, 1979 240D
Tom, Did you get what you needed on this? I did mine last spring and printed off the pages from the CD-let me know. It was not a bad job-worst part was the little white plastic spacer that had broken and wedged-I had to destroy it to get window out. Also hadn't thought to order a new one, so the new window rattles a bit side to side now but the lift works just fine. Paid 52 for the new lift from Rusty. HTH Dwight Dwight E.

They do get rust in them, pull the cover off the door cover and have a look. Best to get parts from the wreckers. Putting a the glass in the channel is a total pain. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter Frederick [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 9:16 AM Subject: [MBZ] Best way to trouble shoot window, 1979 240D Now that weather is getting better time to fix my window that went plop this winter.

There are 2 big rivets holding the raising arm to the gear that the motor turns. I had one rivet shear, the arm flopped, no action. Took it apart, fixed it with a bolt (had to do some grinding on the head for clearance), has held now for 3 or 4 years. --R [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Now that weather is getting better time to fix my window that went plop this winter.

Now that weather is getting better time to fix my window that went plop this winter. Anyone ever do this repair. Heck I do not even know what is wrong yet. Window came off track, I think regulator goes up and down. Any thoughts would be a help. Front passenger window.Thanks Could be any of a (small) number of things. None of them particularly serious. The track could come unbolted from the lift, the window could come 'unglued' from its bracket, the pivot pin could have broken out of its slider, etc... Gotta open it and have a look, then it'll be obvious. It only takes about 10 minutes to open up the door. -- Jim
