I just wanted toask before I go tearign my door apart. If the ones from the back door will fit the front, I would be VERY happy. This is on a 98 SLS.

Well you know I don't speak from experience, but on RockAuto, I see some of these listed as "Front Left and Rear Right" so it's possible. Then again, I'm sure you would not be surprised if they are mislabeled coming from them.

Hmm, I guess the best way is to take the door panel off and look. I need to anyway, try and fix my speaker.

I wouldn't bet on it, I don't recall them looking very similar, the insides of the doors are shaped differently.

Yeah, i know, but the regulator itself could be the same. It's just a bar with pullies and a motor on it.
