Hi All,
I have a 97 E420 MBz and have had the second rear window operation fail. The regulator mechanism (cables, etc.) failed. The rear right window failed about 2-1/2 years ago. The window mechanism behind the driver failed last month. When I removed the door panel to put a temporary fix in place (a stick strategically placed to keep the window up), I found a screw laying in the bottom of the door pan. I'm wondering if the screw vibrated out of position and caused the mechanism/assembly to fail.
Does anyone have any knowledge, experience, rumors about my theory of the vibrating screw. When the first window failed, it costed me about $275 when things were renewed. Call me cheap, but I thinking the loose screw may simplify the repairs for my latest window incident.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
