Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 2006190e Driver door stuck fully open
1987 190e. Drivers door stuck fully open because of binding in arm which holds door in full or mid open position. Anyone else had this problem? Do I need to take door apart to fix?

This is not my car and is in excellent (9/10) conditiion. Method of removing the inner door panel on the 190 (I have removed lots of them on other cars) is not really obvious to me. There is a screw near the latch but no other clearcut way to remove inner trim pieces? I don't want to damage them by prying. Howard Howard Nelson schrieb: >> Howard Nelson schrieb: >>> 1987 190e.

Two screws under the armrest. Two screws at the chrome piece hiding the lock. One screw in the cage of the door opener under the plastic piece. The crank of the window is fixed with its cover: Push it to the axis. Remove the locking knob at the window if it is of the old kind with a head, its a screw. The cover is fixed with about 8 plastic clamps at sides and bottom. Just coutiously pull at the edges from the frame. You may use a plastic wedge. Finally you have to lift the cover out of the slot along the window upwards. The frame is closed against water with a plastic plane.

No window crank No visible screws holding the arm rest. Only a single 10mm bolt behind a black plastic facade where the upper part of the arm rest attaches near the inner lever for opening the door. When I remove this bold the upper part of the arm rest is then loose but the bottom part does not then rotate and release the way it did on my Volvo. Inner part of the door is very smooth with no other visible screws or easily removable trim pieces. What am I missing?

The main part must have two deep holes with screws at the bottom. Otherwise you could not slam the door. SignatureRoland Franzius Remove door trim 190E 1) Near door lock black C or U shaped plastic moulding with one philips screw 2) At the top of the door grab handle pull, Flip out the small angle sided plastic cover plate underneath will be a 10mm bolt remove this 3) Next slide the interior door release unit towards the outside of the door THEN let the unit slide towards the hinge side to release the hooked wire releases 4) now lift the whole panel upwards 5) Once panel free lift it over the door lock button Refitting is reverse BUT engage the CENTRE hook first LONGER PIN Get it of in less than 2-3minutes taking your time |
