[W126 Coupe] Off Topic (ish) - Electric Rear Blind...

[Jon Pridham]

Hi Everybody,
 
I'm after a bit of info on the rear electric blind for the W126...
 
I've just been able to find a rear electric blind for my SEL which needs a bit of repair and a retrim.  the blind has come to me in a collection of bits but I have been able to purchase some missing or broken parts from mercedes to make it work again but i have 3 questions which i'm hoping somebody can answer which will stop me taking the blind in my SEC apart.
 
1. The kink in the SEL guide rod - does it go at the top or the bottom?
 
2. I have been given a spring, which the guide from mercedes goes between the white toothed rod and the black blind fixing - is this just a buffer or is it supposed to be attached to the 2 parts?
 
3. In relation to question 2 - if the blind is not attached to the rod does the blind automatically retract by the blind's spring loading?
 
Thanks
 
Jon
