Default Replacing door check on E420

Anyone ever do this? Overall the door works ok, but clicks on open/close and just isn't as smooth as it should be. Part is cheap only $29.00 but seems like it could be pretty labor intensive unless I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks again!!

Hi:

It's not very difficult. I've changed them on my vehicle twice without any problems. I was going to get the dealer to do them the first time but the cost was outrageous. Just take your time and you will have no problems. By the way, I purchased the replacement parts from ebay and they were $10.00 each and it was the exact same part as Mercedes was selling.

Thanks. I think I'll go for it.
Looking at my estimate here, the dealer price was $250.00 each door +tax. Like you said, outrageous.
