Apparently the same as the W201. I learned this lesson the hard way. I have made a fairly servicable clip out of nails and shoegoo.

Well unless it's likely my 89 300TE where the former owner took two wood screws and screwed the broken off rear arm rest into the panel and into sheet metal. Managed to miss the regulator & window by like 1/8 of an inch. Needless to say that panel would come off, but since I had the shop manual I new something wasn't right. Took a few hours to figure out and then noticed the slight puncture marks in the door arm rest where the screws were counter sunk into the foam...

Very slick, until someone tries to remove it by prying inward, I've got two that were replaced for this very reason. Window regulator will be pretty much self-explanatory. Window must be down to remove regulator, but that will be obvious anyway. Peter

Re: [MBZ] 124 broken window
I believe it comes off like a 126 - slides straight up - not snap-off the door sideways like a 123.

I hope your local dealer remembers how a W124 goes together.
