electric window on 300e

[chilled]

hi folks

my electric window on my 1991 300e as stopped working
I have traced the fault to the teeth on the end of the window opening/shutting mechanism
the last four or five have sheared off

my question is has anyone changed one of these before
it looks straight forward but any advice would be much appreciated

Oh dear, my brother needs to do one of his Coupe fronts, mine is also becoming a bit hesitant near the top!

Think I'll give it to someone else to fix
