Have the dreaded "machine gun lock" on drivers door.

Anyone have a good online site that sells the door actuator? Tryed a few and can't find one outside the dealer. And they have to special order it.

The bright side is it's only $78, the downside is don't wanna have to order it.

The WIS is useless on this one, and the online write ups I have found are rather bleak as well. Anyone got something with pics and so on?

I may have to do one if no one steps up to the plate for what appears to be a very common ailment to the beloved ML.

Can anyone confirm the P/N is: 163 720 12 35 ?
