Mercedes SL R230 , how to remove window regulator

[@blackgunsenterprise]

Appreciate you man. My motor wasn’t shot. Apparently the prior owner sprayed some sort of lubricants because it might have been getting stuck but the lubricant made it worse and it clunked up causing it to get stuck. I degreased the whole thing and washed it. Roof and window is all set! Thanks to your video I did it in a hour!

It’s happened to all of us.. Thanks for making the vid

That was a very interesting video thanks for showing me how to replace the window

[@stevepartridge4675]

Many thanks for this helpful video. Made it easy to replace my rear window mechanism. I would just like to add - on my SL 2005 I also had a small 8mm? bolt holding the top panel down at the back under the flap. It holds it down and stops the boot catching when the boot opens (the other way) when the top is taken down. Thanks again.

Hi was is showing "roof in operation" when you were trying to open the hood? My rear quater is not functioning either also the fuse keeps popping plus the central locking is refusing to work with the key :-(

How did you get your window to manually raise down? I changed my motor checked fuses and the window still will not raise up please help and thank you for the video very helpful

You need to establish if your motor is getting power or the motor is no good. To do this remove whole window mechanism with the two bolts as shown on my video. When removed attach a separate power supply to mechanism to see if window moves. Is motor pushes window up and down by reversing the power leads, then your motor is ok. You then need to check if the plug to the motor from the wiring harness is supplying power, check with multimeter while someone operates the power window switch on the door. If no power then you need to work back to the fuse board. If everything is perfect, then you need to get the power window module checked. Hope that helps. If your window is stuck down, I can’t remember if the two bolts to the mechanism are still accessible due to the glass in the way, just check to see if the socket will push on, you can actually watch this happen from the top of window with the trims removed as per video.

The roof needs to be taken down, to remove the window glass and mechanism. You can open roof manually if need be.

I took the whole unit out of the car however U checked fuses and switched for brand new parts

[@trillnews5998]

Can you tell me exactly what you used or did to make the window raise with the battery when testing it? I see a positive and negative connection from the battery are those needle clips on the numbered connector?

I have a question what fuse and location controls the passenger rear quarter glass

[@kalsingh11]

It’s a 25amp fuse located inside the car under the rear storage bin. Just open the bin and lift out a small panel. The fuse should be yellow and roughly in the middle of the row of fuses. You can google a fuse chart.

Great video...you could possibly get a lot more views/subscribers by changing the title and description slightly to help people find this video. For example, in the description, change 'wind' to 'window'. You could also put 'how to remove window regulator' as this is the term/word people search for. I would also mention the word 'window' and 'window regulator' in the title. Last but not least, the more comments you get, the more KZbin will promote your video. Is it your R230 and do you still have it? Mike

Here is the link to close the roof manually. You just need to reverse this to open the the roof. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHbUmqyNnMR0qtU
