Only one lock was sluggish, to the point of not working most of the time. I pulled the door panel and could see that the vacuum actuator was popping briskly, but it was struggling to overcome the linkage. I peeked up into the linkage and noticed it was dry and a bit rusted. Sprayed some white lithium grease into it and instantly the lock started working. It is now the fastest one. I'll try listening for the pump to see how long it runs and chase down leaks if need be. Not sure how fast the locks should work but they normally all work within one to two seconds.

Working on glueing the fabric back on the door pocket now where it rolls off at the top. It's annual Mercedes Benz Day at my house today.
