I need to swap out the central door locking motor on a C180k Coupe. I have read all the threads I can find and have got the new part. I have removed the door panel, I have released the inner door foam, I don’t need to take the airbag out as the door is wider in the coupe and it is not in the way. I have released the 3 screws that hold the lock in, I have removed the screw that holds in the outer lock and withdrawn the lock. The unit has now dropped and can be removed. Now for the help, how do you get it out? I have read that you need to drill out the two rivets holding the window guide which I have done but can’t move it out of the way. What am I doing wrong? This is the last hurdle and I will be on my way to putting it back together. Can anyone give me some advice?
