There are some door panel removal instructions floating around the net under the heading " door speaker replacement ". Be aware that 96 and up use different panels.
But, before you go that route,you might be able to see the switch from the outside. Run the window down and shine a light down the slot slightly rearward of center. If you can't see it, run the window up a bit. The limit sw on my 91 300SL is a small microswitch that uses a small pin. ( From what I recall, the sw is about 3/4" long and 5/16" wide with a 3/32" dia pin.) The bracket on mine has come off and was no longer holding the sw. My door panel was nearly falling off the door when I got the car so I can't offer door panel help. If you can get a hold of a wiring diagram, probe the window / top controler wiring with the window up and down. |

1991 SL door panel removal.
To remove door panel 1991 300SL.
1. Carefully remove the door lock knob by pulling outward ( parallel ) to release. 2. Using extreme care, remove the wood trim behind the door release handle by lifting outward with a panel removal tool. 3. Extract the single screw securing the metal trim behind the door release handle. 4. Remove the single 10mm bolt securing the door latch assembly to the door. 5. Carefully remove the seat control assembly and wood trim on the door panel using a panel removal tool and prying outward on the outside edge. 6. Remove 1 screw from inside the door pocket on the outside edge of the door in the pocket hinge assembly. 7. Remove the single very small screw from inside the pocket on the inside edge of the pocket securing a piece of plastic molding. Remove the molding and extract 1 large screw securing the door pull handle and panel to the door. 8. Extract 1 screw securing the black trim piece around the door latch. Lift up from the bottom to remove. 9. Extract 3 small screws securing the chrome trim on the top of the outside edge of the door panel and remove trim. 10. Remove the courtesy lamp assembly at the bottom of the door panel by snapping it out with a panel removal tool. 11. Using a panel removal tool, carefully release the “pop” fasteners from around the perimeter of the door panel. Lift up on the door panel to release the metal clips from the top edge of the door panel. 12. Slide off the vacuum hoses from the connectors near the panel bottom. 13. You are now holding the free door panel. Reverse steps for installation.

Taking the lower exterior trim off won't get you to the window limit sw or any internal door parts, the inner panel needs to come off.
