Re: [MBZ] W126 Rear Window Regulator -- Clay's issue

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I don't remember for sure on a 126.  It may have room, and maybe it is 
124 where there is not enough room.  I know some times I have to use a 
box wrench.  It has been quite a few years since I had one go bad.  For 
a while I was working on 126 windows a lot.

Maybe, I forget exactly, it has been awhile since I took one out but I 
vaguely recall being able to get a socket in there.  If not a 
ratcheting bone wrench will work OK.

Exactly, you can feel the screws you have to remove but it helps to 
have one to refer to as it is kinda tight in there but not that hard 
to get them off.  Then the motor can pop out and you should be able 
to move the regulator/window by hand.  10mm socket?

in that case, you have to unbolt the motor from the regulator. (mostly 
blind, by feel)  a light and mirror can help you visualize what you 
are up against, but are not much good for the actual bolt removal.

I have given up the fight on trying to get the regulator out of the 
passenger side of Allen. The motor does not spin up, so the window is 
not lowering, which would make it all simple to remove. I think the 
motor froze, as when power is applied, there is a click or grunt but 
no motion.
