Window regulator help!


Poloace

Recommended Posts

Hey guys- 71 2002..

 

was rolling down the passenger window- heard a clunk and it stayed down.

 

First time taking off panels etc and I have the regulator out- and here’s what it looks like - the part on the bottom of the first image was connected to the lower window mechanism and would still roll within it- but the window wouldn’t move up or down. Help!

The pin that broke is available as a spare part from Mercedes Benz; and that pot metal pin that holds the concentric spring in place (it's in the center of the sector gear in your first picture) isn't long for this world.  It's gonna pull out and break.  

 

I did a column on repairing that center pin, and it has the M-B part number; PM me and I'll send you a copy.

try this part number on a benz parts site, MB part number is/was 1155860172, that number may be superseded but they should be able to cross it over. 

If everybody in the room is thinking the same thing, then someone is not thinking.

Think I could source that locally from a dealer for the same price!?

 

Only if they want to make a sale.  Find a few online prices & ask your local shop if they can match it.

Same scenario... was driving and heard a clunk in the drivers door followed by something sliding around in the door. Upon later investigation, found the tension spring at the bottom of the door and the pin (that the outer spring coil hooks to) MIA.

 

Is this a “regulator out” job to replace the pin and spring? Or are there any tricks to perform with repair with the regulator in-situ? I expect the former, but thought I ask before going down that road. TIA!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
