Sliding jaw of death. Pull off the door panel (lift the panel STRAIGHT UP after removing the various bits so you don’t break the little tabs) and push up the glass by hand, you’ll see if the slide is broken. Jam a wedge in the glass at the bottom of the frame to keep it raised until you can fix it.
I got to where I can get those panels off and in the regulator in about 10 minutes, it’s a simple job. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Sep 14, 2018, at 3:16 PM, Dan--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Known as the “sliding jaw”. > > -D > >> On Sep 14, 2018, at 3:12 PM, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes >> <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >> >> My vote goes to the plastic part in the regulator that degrades with age.
