Removing rear air vents on back of armrest
Hi all, ive got a W203 C55, and im really stumped so thought id be more likely to get a reply here as its the same as any of the W203 models.
My rear air vents are broken, and I want to replace them.
Theres lots for sale on ebay, so it obviously comes apart, im just not sure how. Do you need to remove the whole centre console and armrest?

Thanks very much mate, took it off, it needed a fair bit of force on the catch lugs with a large screwdriver, but it came off.

It's funny that I found this thread while searching for the other one I created minutes ago. I had a loaner yesterday, a new C class. It had a clock! 
I might look into a custom install, since I've decided to keep this car. Now that they're every base model C series (guessing, the loaner I had didn't have any extras), I won't bother for the silver star logo in my clock.
