I have a 2005 c240 wagon. Someone borrowed my car yesterday and tried to open the center console by pushing in both side buttons simultaneously. The armrest lid came off and I have not been able to get it back on properly. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your input!

Someone has suggested that lid is suppose to come off when both side buttons are pushed in. If that's the case, how do you get the lid back on?

There is a thread on this forum somewhere covering this exact subject. I remember seeing it about a year back. I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks, Glyn, and please do let me know how to access the thread if you find it. I've tried to find it myself but haven't had any luck. I'm new at this.

This is not what I was thinking of though. Will keep looking

This post in the 2004-center-console-armrest-retrofit-troubleshooting thread may help.

Thank you so much for all the help! Glyn, your link to "center arm rest issue" above describes my problem exactly and also how to pop the top back in place. One of the responses suggested taking it to the dealer . . . that they pop these back into place all the time and can do it in a minute or two. We are going to stop at the dealer today and see what happens.

My husband just called. It took a serviceman at the dealer's about 30 seconds to pop it back into place . . . no charge! Thanks again everyone for the advice!

A pleasure. Thanks for letting us know.

I am also having this problem. Everyone talks about "side" buttons. I have two buttons facing the radio on my armrest. No buttons anywhere else. Have looked in my Haynes book - confusing. If you find how to take lid off, please let me know!! Thanks
