Part: Power window motor

First, remove the door panel. To do this, unscrew a series of screws with the appropriate screwdriver: one near the latch, one under the cover near the hinge, and one under the cover located beneath the door handle. Additionally, unscrew the lock retaining clip, detach the rearview mirror cover, and once the panel is lifted from its position, disconnect the wire that connects the door opening lever and all the electrical cables. Once the panel is moved aside, locate the electric motor and disconnect it from the battery. Unscrew the 3 screws with the appropriate screwdriver and gently pull the motor from its housing. Install the new motor by reversing the steps. The car is a Mercedes E-Class.
