I keep a handful of the door rivets on hand for that reason. They’re pretty much universal and you always need a couple when you pull door panels off. I think I got a rebuild kit or something of the sort of the last ML that needed a rear window regulator. Still had to remove it, so you need the

Rear window regulator is an hour’s work and about $30 in parts, as I recall. The power steering leak is probably the commonly cracked reservoir with takes all of about five minutes to swap and maybe $40-$50 in parts, if that. -D > On Jul 6, 2022, at 6:18 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes >

Yeah not a big deal to deal with those things, even if it is a hose or something.  That would be a decent deal for a beater ML and it actually doesn't look half bad.  Show up with 12 benjies and drive it off. I've got to replace a rear regulator in mine, have had it for ages but just haven't
