Performs well on GL450 (X164)

Mercedes dealer wanted over $400 for a new lock. I found several videos on YouTube showing how to disassemble the lock and fix very common problems with it. Unfortunately, when I disassembled my old lock, I found that one of the aluminum shafts needed to drive a pair of plastic gears had snapped in half. There was no way to rebuild it together. I took a chance and went with an aftermarket solution and it worked out well. Visually, it looks just like the original. Let's see how long this lasts. I just installed it in my car and it worked just like the original lock.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later
