Hi,

W124, 1995 E320 Sedan.

The window on the driver's side stoped working after a "crack" noise. Last night I removed the door panel and removed the window regulator and motor (what a pita!). The regulator looks good. All pinions teeth are good and teflon gides are like new. The motor is also good and by pressing the button, I get the motor moving and the big regulator pinion turning but the window does not move at all. It moves free by hand.

I'm not familiar with this regulator but I think there are 2 pices that are supossed to be welded because I see 3 welding spots. Those 2 parts are not welded anymore (see picture). My car is grade 2 armored and those windows are heavy. I guess welding failed because of glass weight.

Should I get those parts welded? What's the right position before welding? Or is it something else wrong?

I really appreciate your help.
