QuestionJust purchased a 1979 300SD with a few warts here and there, and I'm trying to get her back into shape. I have resonably good mechanical skills but I can't figure out how to get the drivers window motor assembly out of the door so I can do repairs. The motor works great... but I can see that the gears are not meshing. I found a broken nylon washer in the bottom of the door and the drive gear looks a little kittywampus. Easy fix if I could get the assy out of the door. Any words of advice? Thanks a bunch. "Dakota Joe"
