The window should move up and down freely in its tracks, even if the sliding jaw isn't installed. I haven't worked on a 124, but the 126 has tracks in the doors that the window glass rides in. It's...

The sliding jaw you show does appear to be in the right spot, although it appears to be a different design than the original one you show further up the page. Are you sure it's the correct part? It...

Mystery solved. LOL!

I used silicone sunroof grease to lube the tracks in the SDL. Seems to be what Mr. Bergsma recommends as well. I chose it since it won't harden or react with water, so it...

That's kind of disappointing about the motor not coming apart. I suspect Bosch changed the design slightly between 1986 and the mid 90s, so that's kind of a bummer.

That curved sliding piece does...

There are a couple of screws on the motor itself that allow it to come out of the housing. It's been >18 months since I've had mine apart, so I don't remember the specifics. The whole worm gear...

How easy is the motor shaft to turn? It should be relatively easy. If it seems stiff or it takes effort to turn it, the bearings may be in need of lubrication.

If you take the motor apart, there...

I suspect you have a poor connection in a wire to the motor or brushes that are intermittently making/breaking connection.

Get the window motor working and wiggle the wires. If the motor cuts in...

Drilling out the rivets is more elementary than you think. Use a drill bit roughly the size of the head and drill until the head comes off. The rest of the rivet will push out the other side. You...

If everything is working correctly, you should get ~12V in one direction and -12V in the other. For example, if you have your red lead on the left screw and black on the right, if you press "up" and...

If you look at the long ends of the switch where they push through the plastic crib, you'll see a tab on both ends, one will be longer than the other. Use something skinny but sturdy like a paring...
