Cap'n I ordered a window regulator for my Euro 500SE as bottom 10 or so teeth were stripped was very suprised it was only 34 dollars. When I got it is was Euro wind up type as I forgot to tell Phil the car had power windows,the joke was the the metal was about twice as thick as the power regulator witch was well over a hundred dollars . I ended up welding metal in where the stripped teeth were and cutting new teeth with a thin cut off wheel on a die grinder works like new. I made a copper patern from the good teeth to work from.My guess is that they used vacum for locks as there are so many ele.item already on an MB.......
