How to Remove the Window Regulator Motor on a Mercedes Vito

Model: Mercedes Vito W639, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Power window motor

Do you want to remove the window regulator motor from your Mercedes Vito? Let's go through the correct steps in this video. Before starting the disassembly, disconnect the battery terminals. Use a screwdriver and bits to unscrew the internal door handle, being careful not to scratch it. Remove the handle with a plastic lever, unscrew the screw in the slot, and once removed, unscrew the one for the internal door opening lever. Detach the door panel, disconnect the window regulator and speaker terminals. Do not lose any of the clips behind the plastic panel that you removed earlier. Remove the plastic covering and unscrew the pins with the screwdriver. Use a socket wrench and appropriate bit to unscrew the pins of the glass track. Remove the glass seals both inside and outside. Remove the glass by sliding it upwards, being careful not to break it. Unscrew the window regulator motor using the socket wrench, disconnect the power terminals, and pull it out of its housing. Slide out the track and window regulator from the door frame. Reassemble everything in reverse order.
