ALLO.

It's done.
The black plastic covering in the door handle recess is the
'key' to unlocking this mystery.

Also, knowing that the 'clips' are 'J ' shaped is helpful.

Neighbor is a retire mech-(old school) and handyman.
Did the task, at his leisure, and charged only $65.

Total cost plus the $20 part= $85. total...

Good to go for another 22 years....
Plus the window movement is smoother after a cleaning
of the track and silicone lube.


Many, many tks for the tips.

Where to find the price of the cost of a 1985 MB 380 SE
when it was new ?

ps. Just replaced the a/c compressor and then c/o
to R-134 and now, after a few minutes, it's blowing
snow out....Great stuff for the triple digit temps in
northern California this week...
