I've been a MBZ tech for 28 years. The biggest problem with instructional videos is, they can be hard for the novice to follow. Yours has excellent , clear, step by step detailed instructions that are easy to follow. I tip my hat to you.
Do you have a UA-cam Chanel ? Maybe I learn something from you. 💪🏼
i guess I am kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Kayden Trace I use Flixzone. Just google for it :)
Literally took him 27 minutes that would take me all day.
In my 42 years of hotrodding this was by far the best "how to" video I've seen.
This is a short note of thanks to AutoRex. Without your ‘excellent’ video, I couldn’t of replaced my CLS window regulator myself. Thank you 👍👏
This is the best how to video I've seen and I've watched hundreds over decades of hobby wrenching. Right to the point, well described, good camera work. Thanks a lot!! This allowed me to get into my passenger seat window of my 2006 CLS55 and the procedure was exact. I'd have spent hours figuring out what all needed pulled on my own, but instead I had it all of 15-20 mins. Had a very loud screeching window when it was rolled down and this allowed me to get white lithium grease on all exposed wire and pulleys (did it while up and down a couple times and once more half up). Didn't need to swap regulator in my case but first half of this video made it so so easy. thanks again.
Thanks very much for taking the time to post this. You've saved me around £300 in main dealer labour charges. Good video and clear instructions. I tried the cheaper eBay repair kit and failed miserably. I couldn't get the cable tension and positions right. I gave up on that and purchased the full regulator as shown here. All working a treat now.
Excellent.
Thank you.
Just what I needed...someone to explain and demonstrate so a six year old could understand it. Well done!
I really can not appreciate enough that you made this video, it is great that there are guys like you who take the time to film these really helpfull repair videos! Many thanks to you, this made it much easier for me🙏👍
Very well done video. You made this smooth, fast and easy to follow. Under an hour with coffee.
Brilliant video. Managed to replace my LH front regulator mechanism without any fuss after watching your video. Just needed to tinker a little with the rear glass mount positioning, now as good as new. Thanks muchly for sharing!
Thanks for this excellent video, it made replacing my broken window regulator in the UK a piece of cake. Wish all videos were as good as this one.
You saved me $400 in labor! Can’t thank you enough on a great, informative tutorial.
I did run into some issues accessing the t30 Torx screws that hold the window due to the regulator not allowing the window to roll all the way up and in line with the access points for the torx screws, so I used a small ratcheting tool and stuck my hand in the door to access it.
Also, as a tip for others looking to do the job- cutting the cables of the broken window regulator makes it easy to remove it from the door. I used large wire cutters.
I want to say this is the best video for this job on UA-cam .....
But you left out a main part .... you have to disconnect the subwoofer in the door so you can get to the other screw that holds the window in place .
Youre the best man. I followed the whole video step by step and now everything works perfectly. Also nicely explained and recorded man. PERFECT
Thank you for an excellent video. Really clear visuals and you point all all the potential pitfalls. I like the way you include every single nut and bolt removal and also showed the fiddly nature of getting out the regulator. A+ !
2007 cls 550, thought my window regulator was bad turns out the bolt and bracket fell off that hold the window to regulator, your video was easy to follow and had it done in about a hour thanks a lot for posting this.
Great detailed instructions. I replaced my passenger side window and now it works perfectly. Thanks!
I haven't even started yet but, your video is a real confidence booster and very easy to follow. If you had a camera man so that you could totally focus on the mechanics you would be amazing. Thanks for your help.
Would have been lost without this vid. Thanks for posting. Top stuff!
I couldn't agree more with everyone else. BEST video I have seen yet.
Great video! I have to do both driver and passenger sides. Dealer wants $900 per side. Your video gives me the confidence that I can DIY it. Thanks.
Doing this tomorrow . Think this video will help massively .
Thanks for sharing this video. I just fixed my CLK500's window switch. Simply sprayed contact cleaner INTO the switch through every possible nook and cranny, and ditto for the connections. Works like a charm now. Thanks again for posting...you're a hero.
Good on you mate - Being Working on Mercedes for 40 Years well done ( we don’t have the patience to make videos old school) Highly recommend-Well done again YNWA-
I changed my regulator a few days ago and I must Thank you cause without your video I would of been lost or paying someone 300.00 I cash imagine
Thank you, man! Just followed your doing and sorted my problem 100% !
Many thanks for making a difficult job far easier!
I did this on the passenger side before you posted this video and did a lot of things I really didn't have to do. It took me hours!
Thank you for posting, because now that I have to replace the drivers side, it won't take me nearly as long with your help.
Awesome video!! You saved me $1200 and lots of frustration. Your directions were clear and simple to follow. Thanks lots.
Amazing video. Everything on the CLS500 is expensive. It's great when I can do some of the repairs myself. Very clear, detailed video. Thanks for sharing!
I've got three advices for people doing this job. 1. Put a paint marker dot towards both edges of the glass when the door is closed before replacing the regulator. It will give you a good point of reference when you install the glass back to the new regulator and aligning it with the door/seals/b pillar.
2. Make sure to mark a circle around the bottom two screws holding the regulator in place as you need to exactly put it back where the screws are.
3. There are bump stoppers on each side of the glass clamps, you need to adjust these (rotating clockwise or counter clockwise) so that when you push the guides a far up as you can, that the glass is not potruding too much. Again tip no. 1 would help you figure out where the sweet spot is.
Hello, my cable broke at the top window level. So i need to bring the window down by my own, do you thing if i change it myself and normalize the window. Do you think it gonna work. Sorry for my english, im french 😅. Thank u in advance
Fantastic Illustration and very easy to follow excellent in every way
Absolutely brilliant video . Thank you so much for posting !! Perfect !!
Beautiful layout of instructions bro 👍🏾
Thank you for such a great video. I'm new to fixing everything on my CLS 55 but this helps a lot. My regulator went out today.... Will be taking it to the shop though. I dont have the tools.
Just fantastic video!!! It is the best instructional video I have ever seen on UA-cam, great job very impressive !!!
You saved me & my time fighting with it. Thank you sooo much!
wow dude both my cables broke 2 days apart thanks for the video the dealer wants $1200 i can do this myself
BAMA2209HEISMAN for a failed window regulator? $1200? I was thinking $200 was too much!
this is a piece of work ill be paying a mechanic to replace mine lol
brilliant video.. exactly what I needed to watch before I replace mine
thanks 👍
great video man ,takes all the guess work out of this repair and saves me a bunch off time ,thanx again
I remove the speaker so I don't damage it by accident. I did the passenger side off this video. Great. Now I have to do the drivers side. Wonder why they charge 30.00 more for drivers side. Autohaus Gen Mercedes 300.00 for divers side. Removing the speaker also allows you to manipulate the Regulator easier.
Hey, I want to change the passenger side too, but I realized, that there is no hole as in 06:37 for the screw? How die you do it?
Great video. Saved me a lot of money!
Excellent video. Great knowledge
Very nice working and explaining

Thanks 2007 Mercedes Benz CLS 550. I might mention the door absolutely must be closed to reset the window. If you close the latch with the door open will not fool the window motor..
Well done bruv. Very nice on point Video!
Hey Mate. Tomorrow i will work on my CLS C219 too. Passenger Side Window.
Windows goes down but not up. It works after 15min or more and pull the button times and times..
Very very helpful and very clearly explained well done and thanks.
Ste U.K.
Good video..helped a lot..but its not as easy as one would like..difficult to line up on rubber etc..but yea good vid..thx
Very Well Done...Many Thanks!
Yes excellent video! I feel I can buy the part and do it myself.
Very good video . Do you have more repair videos on this car ?
Your the best... thank you so much for this video.

Very helpful
I have to do both of my 2007 CLS 550 and one of the windows is the second time. Besides they were making a lot of noise before breaking completely like lack of oil or some! How can we avoid so much noise when opening it?
ok quick question. i did not see you tighten the front window clamp to keep the window in its place. i saw there is a green plastic shim under the clamp. How do you adjust the window so that it is a perfect fit with no air gaps?
Awesome video, thanks a lot for this!
One question, do you need to re apply that black sealant/glue on the water shield?
Excellent video 👏👏
Would you kindly tell which camera are you using and is it a camera in glasses?
Good Job bro 👍
I thank you por the video excellent work 🙏👍
I need help... I got it on, but the window holder closest to the door handle on the passenger side won't go on...
Nice one! My dads have gone twice! Anything you can do to prevent them going again? Bit of a design fault!
Great video.
Many thanks.
How long does it usually take fir a auto electrician or for yourself to do start to finish?
Kind regards
Have you seen a problem with the short stroke feature not working after replacing the regulator? the window will come down when the door is open but it won't go back up when the door is shut. it wouldnt even work at first but now will come down just not up.
Very good
Thanks!
You are the man. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Total lifesaver
Would this be the same process for the front passenger side..?
+Heathrow Irc Yep.
Hello, i just replaced my window mechanism and now the window doesn't go down a bit when i open the door, and go up when the door is closed. How come ?
How to replace door windows for all 280 convertible 2006
First thing is, NEVER, NEVER use screw drivers or any type of metal objects when removing items that can scratch, tear or damage interior pieces. Use plastic tools.
Best video
super video, wish i can pay you to fix my window
2006 CLS 500 window goes up but does not reach max seal; is the problem a window regulator or motor? Thanks
Great video! I have to replace the regulator for my 2008 C300. I ordered the part and it doesn't have the nut on it. I haven't had the time to do the job yet, but I haven't been able to find much on the subject. Would it be much different than the CLS? Also if anybody has a link to a tutorial, that would be really helpful.
