I just remembered that I have a motor and lift mechanism hanging in my garage. I don't remember whether it is for a 123 or 126 (I had both). If anyone is interested, let me know.

Hmm... this is true. However, I'd still get a NEW motor (or one-piece motor/regulator assembly if it's one of those, like in 124 rear doors) if that IS the problem. For me the annoyance of taking a door apart and fishing the regulator in and out compared to the relatively small price premium of a new motor over a used one puts this in the category of jobs worth paying extra on to make sure they stay fixed, if at all possible, as long as I own the car.
