190E Rear Door Window Problem

[rascal9756]

I Need some help in removing the rear door panel on a 190E, 1991. What is the best way to remove the interior door handle and arm support. Where are the screws hidden? The window will not go up or down with the switch but I was able to manually move the window. How does the track system work with clips or a chain system? Any tips are appreciated.

something I just got done doing 5 minutes ago was changing "good" fuses out.....and the window started working.

My 190e, dropped the passenger rear left.....then the rear right.....then the Drivers (which makes life difficult to go thru drive thrus).

I bought fuses, changed fuses, and no help.

For some reason, this morning, I rotated fuses from 7,8,9 and the window started to work again?
All I'm saying is to try the fuses. cheap. rotate them with a known good one.

for getting the panel off, i don't know either. 190e isn't easy. imo.
also the plastic and old trim seems to just crack and fall apart on mine, I'm afraid to touch it almost!

good luck.

ok I just took off the rear door panel.

1) Remove the door lock knob, it unscrews.

2) remove the plastic piece at the top of the door handle, and there will be a 10mm bolt. Remove it.


3) this was tricky,
there is a plastic "latch" piece to the right, inside of this door handle opening
Press this while , wiggling the door panel, and it will come away from the door.

the are 2 plastic clips on the bottom and a few on the edges behind the panel. These are downward clips, not holes...the panel is pushed upward, not pulled outward. make sense?

as usual there is the metal rod, that hooks into the door lever.

the plastic clips on the door panel are glued to the panel and imo, are pretty much crap. Mine had come off and this door panel was sloppy when I started.

but if you finish step# 2-bolt, and then press the clip which alows the door handle assembly to popout of the door frame, then push upward and the clips will rise out of the holes. A lot of it is wiggling the door panel off.

Once you can see behind the panel it gets easier.

I found my regulator plastic piece broken and my motor good.
But its a back window, so I put in a jam-wood piece for now, and secured it with a hose -screw clamp, in the up position.

After putting the door panel back together, I noticed the old glued plastic clips were broken or unglued.

So I rounded up some small black sheet metal screw and put 4qty in the edges of the door frame. It looks fine, and is much more functional than the plastic.

I still need to revisit what I did on swapping the fuses around though? The windows are all working from re-seating a fuse? Maybe oxide build up prevented a good contact?

good luck

I am having a problem taking of the black plastic insert by the door handle.
Did you pry it open or is there another method.
