Replacement Rear Door Lock - W212

[jamesmprint]

After my door RDS door was jammed shut I finally (with great difficult) managed to remove the door card, drilled the rivets took the panel off and have just ordered a new lock mechanism.

Stupidly I hovered up all the rivets and filings and now not sure what size rivets should go back on. Anyone know?

Also when replacing the new lock will i run into any problems with coding it to the car or does this not affect this part.

Thanks in advance....now onto replace the FDS door actuator.

Coding not required. From memory the rivets are 8mm? I just buy them from the dealer.
