89-300CE drivers side window adjust ?

[89-300ce]

After adjusting my drivers side door alignment I now find that my door is hard to close with the window all the way up. I have removed my door panel and am looking for an adjustment to limit the up travel. The only thing that looks like it might work are the nuts that hold the lifting mechanism to the metal frame glued to the bottom of the window. Is this where the adjustment is made or is there a travel stop somewhere?

At the bottom of the door there are two adjusters that look like they might control the amount that the window tilts in or out. It appears that this is adjusted from the outside of the door once the lower cladding is removed. If this correct what is the proceedure for removing the lower cladding?

I have found no info on these items in the service CD's.

Thanks
Jorg

The local MB dealer's Service Department adjusted the door glass on our 1992 300CE and only removed the interior door panel. I would take a closer look at the adjustment nuts that are visible. The Service Department lead tech commented that the glass adjustment is quite tricky ... not a simple adjustment screw with a locknut, but rather a trial-and-error process -- loosening the corresponding nut/adjusting the glass/retightening the nut/activating the window to check the fit until the optimum fit is achieved. I certainly expected that MB would have designed a more sophisticated adjustment mechanism, but not so.

As for the lower door cladding ... I've seen that removed and didn't notice any access holes for adjusting the door glass. The cladding is held on with numerous clips, some of which will likely break if you attempt to remove the cladding. I'd focus on adjusting the glass from the inside because the door cladding R/R will be another headache that you'll wish you had avoided.
