I'm currently replacing the door handle on my 2010 C300 Sport on the driver side door.
I've finally managed to get the panel off but for the life of me I can't find out want the following clip is called or find a part number for it.
I promise I've looked at at least 1 million posts and images about clips but nothing that looks like the following.
Please end my misery by telling me what this is.
Unfortunately, once I entered the car Series I didn't really understand what it was asking me when I needed to select the "Modifications".
Whilst I was browsing that catalog however I was served some ads, one included a retainer clip (which I had come across before). I clicked on it and although it didn't look exactly like what I was after I then did a search using the part number it provided.
And voila, a post from this very forum matched the part number and the user had even provided a picture of the item and thus I now know what the part is.
So I received my clips in the post and I'm happy to report they are the correct ones. When checking if they fit my vehicle it says that they don't fit!
When looking around for somewhere to buy them from pretty much every place wanted $20+ just to deliver 1!
I got them from the following place, delivery was around $11, which is still daylight robbery.
Thanks for posting this. I had a heck of a time getting that retainer re-installed in my W166 after I replaced a cracked wood trim panel. Removing it is easy - use needle nose pliers and pull out the key in the middle. To unlatch and remove the outer retainer, the key needs to be reversed and reinserted, then the entire retainer comes out and you can remove the door panel.
Re-removing the key once it has been used in the removal configuration was a pain. There are locking nubs molded into the key and I wasn't able to easily figure out how to release this. Eventually the key came out but I'm not sure if I could repeat this feat again.
