I drove SWMBO's nice 84/85 300TD to work to - day , the right rear window stopped closing all the way shortly after I purchased the car , after work I took the right rear door apart to discover the motor & lift assembly were missing hardware holding it to the door frame , this meant the motor was over torqued severely and the cast aluminum bracket is bent like a pretzel....
Lucky for me , Rich had a set of spare doors and he sold me one so I had everything I needed to set it right again .
I cleaned off all the old gritty dirty grease , thanx to the DPM who'd mangled it before and left the plastic dust sheet out..... I cleaned out lots of dirty grease & re lubricated everything with White Lithium based grease then I cleaned the dust , leaves & misc. debris out of the inside bottom of the door before closing it back up again , as soon as I find a plastic sheet , I'll dip back in and repair the vacuum door lock the seal it up nice and tight .
Mercedes kindly made everything in the door adjustable , rather easily and even the lower rear window guide is simple to remove , this makes door service not the usual nightmare I hate .
There's a big round crash protection bar running front to back inside the door , nice work Mercedes ! .
Some people really should not be allowed to touch either tools nor Motor Vehicles ~ I'm flabbergasted they _PAID_ someone to beat the crap out of a helpless little Station Wagon .
He needs his butt kicked really hard .
