Window Regulator repair tips for 964

Just repaired the regulator in my 964. The unit came out very easily by removing the motor from the regulator. There were 3 Torx headed bolts to remove as this was a replacement regulator.
the motor gear wheel had stuck in the toothed rack due to bad alignment/adjustment of the regulator. No parts were needed.
The drivers side worked so I knew the fuse, relay and switch was good there. Swapping switches proved they were all good so into the door I went. Be sure to tape the window in the up position.. Also when putting the regulator back in, slide the 2 wheels into the track first, then bolt the motor back on. Refasten lightly, test, and if good, tighten up. This took 10minutes.

Excellent!! If you don't like to clean the sticky stuff off of the window, there are suction cup tools made to hold the window up. http://www.pelicanparts.com/Mercedes-Benz/catalog/ShopCart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_WTD122_pg28.htm ] http://www.pelicanparts.com/Mercedes-Benz/catalog/ShopCart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_WTD122_pg28.htm [/url] This is similar to the one I use. Just apply it to the window in the raised position against the inner or outer window scraper, also gives you a nice grab point which will keep the fingerprints to a minimum. Nothing worse than greasy finger print smears saturating the window scraper.
