[sarcasm] The joys of owning a MB [/sarcasm]

[420SE]

My 420 has an electric blind which is operated by a button just near the gear knob. I pressed it today, for the first time in like 6 months, only to find it simply buzzing but the blind not going up....

...has anybody had this before? Has the blind simply fallen off the mechanism and needs attaching or is there something I should be looking for?

I had a look today and to the eye, all seems normal, except it doesn't bl00dy work

Any help appreciated

Could be wrong on this one, so I will stand corrected if need be.

I had one of those on my 560sel (126), it never worked. The guy I bought it off told me he had taken it to Merc to get it sorted, they advised him not to bother as it was a common problem, and costs a fortune to repair.

Anyway, that's what he told me. But he never explained the problem, and I forgot to ask. Sorry.
