I wish I found this video before I started replacing my window regulator. Another video showed the wrong procedure for removing the panel and detached the lock instead of removing it in one piece. At least watching this saved me in the end and allow me to get it all back together. Thank you! Please include the Torx screwdriver and other tool sizes next time as that would help as well. Good job.

Thanks for this, great help. I’ve just started mine and got to the point of having drilled all rivets out. Just an update to say I’ve managed to complete the swap. Total time was 2.5hrs which was largely due to watching this video and knowing what I needed to remove. Many thanks

But, I don't think we need to remove 3 plastic hook and rivets at the vedio 20:40 till 22:50... Can you give me some idea please.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. It was very precise and it pulled me out of a hole. Liked the way you corrected your small mistakes. Overall an excellent tutorial...

Thanks for the video. It confirmed for me that it is better to just leave the passenger door locked and not have to deal with this headache lol

Very useful. Changed mine today. 350 cdi avant-garde estate 10. No real issue. Except I had a problem with the handle release screw. Didn't have a c10 long enough... had to improvise. First time riveting so a bit nerve racking taking a drill to my car... but all good in the end. Thanks.

SUPER GREAT!!! I couldn´t have done it without Your excellent video! Thanks for sharing so very kindly! All the best from Franco in Stockholm, SWEDEN.!

Nice done 👍 Don’t looking forward to fix something behind that cover 😅 Glad for now everything are good behind there!

Great job, Thanks!

EXCELLENT.. !! thank you

Great video. Thanks.

brother amazing video

Good trickshot with that plastic rivet in the corner. Many people break that. This is better (original/right) way like use small screwdriver to small hooks on rivet. The same thing on my w204.

I tried it today and somebody removed it before me and outter rivet push back 90° wrong on left side doors. So now the small hooks are not right (little bit "broken-demaged) when i tried it and i cant remove rivet. I tried it on right doors but that small hooks little bit break too. So i will need use another style. This is not work for me. I dont know if its different between right/left doors and turn center blockator right or left 90°. My door panels have crack sounds and i ear some outer noise- C class doors havent sound deading like E&S class & i really need do some like on my previous car. I hate noisy cars and crack interior sounds. So I need remove this rivets first.

Excellent video, also with all details. I prefer do not use rivets again but any disassembly joint.

@@BBTM721 I do not understand it too, it seems that it is cheaper to use rivets.. Maybe it is acceptable on Skoda fabia, but not on Mercedes :))

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Thx !

Any idea how to do this on a w207 the door seems to be all one piece with no rivets.

my problem is my window it will not stay in place i want to do it myself i just dont know how I would put the rivets back and if i had to replace the motor do i still have to remove the whole locking mechanism i seen that the regulator was attached to the other side if we can talk that would be great

What type of drill bit did you use? Great work!

Hi, you showed the defective door lock motor. To replace this part is relative cheap. Question is may I know where is this door lock motor located in the door lock actuator assembly pls? Thanks,

@BBTM721

yes, the motor is a relatively inexpensive device, but it can only be reached if the actuator is destroyed. A strong rivet is installed that holds the gear assembly. It is impossible to reassemble everything :-)

You can slide it up you took a lot of stuff off i dont know why

great video! how long did it take you to do this? Thumbs up!

It can be seen in the Video clip. Drill only the head of the aluminum rivet with a drill bit approx. 8 mm. The rivet falls off on its own.
