Brilliant. After picking around for 30mins I found this video and fixed it! Well done sir

This was exactly the problem I had. I got it fixed in 5 mins. Thanks for the video👏👏

Worked perfect thanx buddy. Pain trying to find it stuck away at the top in a right hand drive.

Thank you! The fix was exactly as you stated and took about 15 minutes. I appreciate you walking me through it saved me $400-$600!! 🙏

Marshall, Thank you for your video. It is really helpful. I had the same issue and fixed it per your guidance. Saved $269 diagnostic fee in Foothill Ranch CA Mercedes Benz dealership and the repair cost (They may change the entire E brake system since they do not know how to repair and they do not want to repair and want to replace the whole.

Thank you for the video, saved my day. I was already having nightmares of the bill that the dealer was going to cook up for me. Again thank you!

Glad I found this video my Cls 550 did the same thing. Thanks

Brilliant video. I live in the UK and the fix was fairly straightforward. I pulled the metal piece out with my fingers and it snapped into place! I never would have even thought of trying it but for your video and another I found on YT. The hardest part has been relocating the Torx screws in the hand pull lever and getting the panel back in place. I think Mercedes motto is, 'If you can make it as difficult and complicated as possible then do it!' What possessed them to use this crazy system is beyond me. Anyway you have saved me money and I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. 🙂👍

This video really helped me today. Thanks man!!!

Thank you from Finland

Thx for this video !! I need it today : ) reson was same. That same metal clip was a wrong place. You save my day :)

Thanks bro, your detailed video saved me from taking it to a mechanic, or searching around and dismantling the car. I didn't even need to get on my back, just felt around for the spring and moved up a little to find the metal piece and pulled it a little with my fingers and everything fell into place!

Exactly what was wrong with my 2013 C-300! Spring was popped off and just sitting there ready to get put back into place! Thanks for the video!

Thank you do much for this, you've just saved me fortune mate.

Another thanks. Used Tri- Flow and pair of needle nose pliers to get the 90° metal lip to pop back into the plastic housing. Much appreciated!

You have helped me loads. Who knew it was so simple. Thank you so much!

Hello, thank you very VERY much! Just saved me a lot of headache. Bought all the part, because the big service said it needs to be changed, because that part its not fixable. Bought used part, but fixed after your video! That metal part was in not its place :) mb c207

Thanks for the video! I had the same problem. In my case, the bent piece of metal was holding on right where the release cable end is attached (all the way over the end of the cable). It really looks like it belongs there and had to closely compare my system to your video to make sure it's the same part. For anyone else doing this, that bent piece of metal is quite long and you may need to pry quite a bit to get it clear of the plastic part and get it back into position. Also, the access panel to reattach the cable take quite a bit of force to remove. You can remove the release handle mechanism held on with two T-20 screws and reattach the cable without removing the access panel. That's probably easier before you fix the actual problem in the mechanism.

Thanks a bunch, amazing it took longer to watch the video than the fix..... Thank you once again

Legend, had the exact same problem with the spring being stuck extended. Pried it with a screwdriver and it went back to being coiled up.
