Great video. I did this job the other day. Just wanted to let you know I did not have to drill out the riveted frame. You remove motor first, then regulator is angled right to top corner. Please do more W124 videos. Thanks.
Finally a video how to remove non functional motor power window without lowering window! Thank you very much for this tutorial. Mine 1986 W124, doesn't have that useless bracket that you have to remove hahaha
It is. Parts can still be crazy expensive for what they are though. I used MB parts where it counted. I've only used non-MB parts when I got tired of spending every cent I had. The motor mounts are a perfect example. The MB ones were going to cost me somewhere around $500 for the pair. That's why I went aftermarket. The aftermarket mounts have lasted longer than several people said they would. All internal engine components I replaced were genuine MB.
@@FriendlyMBTech If i had access to that ordering portal i’d be spending days on end just looking up part numbers and seeing whats NLA and whats still available and the prices. Probably would end up very depressed 😅
I just replaced the Fuel Pressure regulator on the 1994 R129 today. It's finally running perfectly! Now to tackle my passenger window. Thanks for this video, I'm sure I have some of the same type of components. Every time I turn the key on and hit the window switch it works for only a split second and then nothing until I take the key out and put it back in. First I changed the fuse, which was cheapest. Then it was the switch. Still nothing. I'm thinking it's got be bad brushes in the motor, or some limit switch in the door thinking the window is already down?? I Love these cars but they're a bit of a puzzle sometimes.
Great video! I couldn't catch the repair of the wood trim on the door. Did I miss it? Also, what holds the windows in place as they go up and down do you know? My front left kinda misaligns when it goes down, and then straights when putting back up. Is there a repair kit for it as there usually is for these cars by any chance?
You can see what holds the window at about the 9:35ish mark. They're just plastic guides in the channel. It's possible they are worn. All I dod for the wood trim repair was move a nut. The outer most nut was missing so I moved the one next to it to that spot.
@@mrpaulvoline1275 you're very welcome. I'll check out your videos.

Re merc95 comment--my 92 300 E 2.6 's driver's side window motor isn't working, however it doesn't appear that the bolts are accessible unless the regulator is removed, since they appear to be in between the motor and the regulator, so there's no clearance without at least unbolting the regulator or am I missing something? Thanks!
Sounds exactly what I went through in this video. The whole regulator has to be unbolted so the motor bolts are accessible.

Ah, I was hoping that there was a way to get it out with a minimum of disassembly, but I guess not! Thanks for the confirmation and your video! @@FriendlyMBTech
Honestly, I don't remember. I am unable to look up the work instructions right now. MB is in the process of switching WIS programs and unfortunately the older cars are the last to have their instructions transferred to the new system. Right now I just get the massage "ERROR: Document has no content" when I try to look it up.
@@FriendlyMBTech Ok, thanks for your reply. I fitted a new window regulator in my W124 220TE yesterday and was left with this 'loose' washer. Window seems to open and close fine though...
@Rogier Westerveld I don't remember what I did with the new one. I don't remember if I found it's home or if I tossed it, but my window works fine either way 🤷♂️.

Thanks for this video! I am going to attempt doing my driver side replacement this evening. Wish me luck :-).
You're welcome and good luck!
Thanks for the no BS to the point video!!!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it helped you.
working for MB and having access to good prices on genuine parts must be awesome.

Yeah, it's crazy seeing what is available and what isn't. I need seat motors but they are NLA.
@@FriendlyMBTech You are blessed with tons of w124’s in the parts recycling places over there at least, here theres none left 😀
I only found one w124 at the closest LKQ yard. Maybe others at some further away.

I'm glad it's running well. You are correct about them being puzzles sometimes.

@@FriendlyMBTech Awesome thank you! Gonna tackle both these issues
The window rolls up all the way but about a half an inch and then it sounds like a gear is skipping. What would that be?
Same car
Sounds like it could be the motor...possibly.
Thanks for the fast response. I do videos as well.

The only reason I watched this video was to find that out and it doesn't say. Not helpful.
Hello Bro 👋 Thanks for this video! can u please help me with the w124 vacuum lines. Mine has messed up, rat have eaten up completely. 🙈
You're welcome! Which engine do you have?
@@FriendlyMBTech W124 E220 petrol
What year is it?
The VIN might help. I might not be able to pull up information here in the US though. We have difficulty with out of country vehicles.
1996 model
Nice , Not my favourite job those motors
I left out the head scratching, cussing, and beers from the video.
@@FriendlyMBTech 🤣🤣 That sounds about right !!
Plastic pry tool is better
I have yet to find a plastic trim tool better than that metal one.
The passenger side is so much harder
That's weird. I'd assume both sides would be the same difficulty.
