Centre Armrest console - Removal ?
Hi, I need some advice on how to get the centre console (the armrest bit between the seats) out. I have started but can't work out how the unit is attached to the floor / driveshaft tunnel ?
I want to remove it to get the shifter out.
Any comments / ideas / pictures would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

This should do it.
I'm not sure on removing the lower section of the console but if it is anything like other benzes then you will probably find a pair of bolts holding the lower console to the upper console and another four bolts holding the lower console to the driveshaft tunnel once you get the wood trim off. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the response. I already have the wooden centre console out but can't see the bolts you mention. Have you any idea where on the console they are ? I can't work out how to get the central storage compartment out (the one between the seats) .. they could be below that. My next step will be to take the seats out and see if there are any screws / bolts under the carpet.
