Mercedes CLK rear window regulator repair kit install 

NICE!

Pulling the regulator assembly will be more challenging than installing the repair kit. Also you will need to adjust the window after reinstalling the assembly(because they auto seal when you close the doors). After you repair the assembly, plug it in and test it. Try to install the glass first and lower the glass before reinstalling the assembly(I remember it was hard to install the assembly with the glass fully extended). I didn't adjust my window before I reinstalled everything and thought I had to take everything apart again! Turns out you can just remove the leather panel and adjust the window through the 3 holes behind it WHEW. lmk if you have questions. Good luck!

@@erickim6533 Thanks Eric for the additional information. You are right about pulling the regulator. After removing the window, I removed the 2 top screws securing the regulator and I still can't pull it out. I don't see any other screw that's is holding it on my 07 CLK 550. Did you do anything else to remove yours? Thanks

@@learner7334 watch this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRhB6EQmRbU.html skip to 19:17. There is a long screw behind the outer trim/mouding that must be removed. This is not unusual for German cars but seems completely ridiculous to me. Good Luck!

@@erickim6533 what do you mean by adjust the window?

@@erickim6533 isn’t it only the front windows that adjust when you open and close the doors? There’s no doors in the back

Can you please help: I removed the 2 top screws securing the regulator and I still can't pull it out. I don't see any other screw that's is holding it on my 07 CLK 550. Did you do anything else to remove yours? Thanks!

Learner73 at the bottom there is a third screw holding the regulator. It is accessed from the outside little trim piece. You need to remove the trim in order to access de screw (leave the car outside so it warms up with the sun or heat it with heat gun to make it much easier to remove without braking the pins; push from the side of the door, with door open, with a big screwdriver). Once you remove the trim you have isolation protecting the screw, you need to cut it. And there you go, your regulator should be free! You can use aluminium tape to cover the hole that you did! Hope it helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask :)

João Pereira Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. It is so clear. I’ll follow your instructions and make sure I don’t break anything. Did you have issues pulling the regulator out. Is there anything you would recommend to simplify the process? Much appreciated. Thanks again :)

Learner73 you’re welcome! It is in fact really tight to remove the regulator. You should try to “open and close” the window manually and find the position that allows the regulator to come out. Once you get the right position it should be pretty easy, no need to force anything

João Pereira Thank you very much! I will give it a try. You’ve been so helpful

You have to remove the silver bracket behind to get to the other t25 screw that’s spinning in place behind. Mine are just stuck together and will not break loose for the life of me, stuck at this point.

I don't know about w208. There is a screw under the outside trim piece. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRhB6EQmRbU.html repair is time consuming but doable and will save you a lot of money. You need to adjust the window after you reinstall so don't put all the panels back on before you adjust.

I answer some of the same questions in this comment section. Take a quick look.

le dernier se démonte derrière la baguette extérieure (outside, behind the outer strip)

Alpha Pavonis merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Je vais l’attaquer aujourd’hui en espérant tout finaliser.
