Can someone tell me how to remove the interior trim pieces?
I found another CLK with the MAPLES EYE BURLWOOD interior trim. (the darker color, cause i have the light brown wood-grain style). I'm planning to go check out the CLK in person cause the car is being parted out at some shop. But the thing is... If i decide to buy the interior trim pieces, i don't know how to take it apart. Can someone help me out? 
Please post in details.
Steps?
Tools?
Special instructions?
I would attempt to do it the way i think it would come off, but i don't wanna ruin/damage anything.

Those pieces on the door panels, u will have to take the door panel off in oder to unscrew them by using 8mm ( or philip screw driver), the one above dash board is pop out, from the side, be careful with this one, u may chip it. And last the center ones, u have to remove the leather trim surround them to unscrew them

If u look between ur cup holder and center console there's a black plastic pice cover n the two bolts that hold leather trimming i n place.once uve done that grab the trimming from the inside they should pop up about half way.I stopped around the radio.next step is the stick shift console.with the cupholder open grab the edge and lift up it should pop up wit enough force.next take ur shifter off and start look n for the tabs to loosen the rest of the wood grain and also the tabs for the buttons.next the ash tray part.leave it open and pull up where u c the 2 tabs hold n it.now the next part was kinda tricky for me.but this is what worked for me.I know there was an easier way but nobody answered to my thread so I decided to do myself.the next part is the heater console,wit a flat head gently lift underneath and on the corners of the the woodgrain and there should be 2 clips that hold the heater console in place.once u c the clips,press them in and it should slide out and the woodgrain can be easily taken out of the center console.hope this kinda helps.I know it isn't the best instructions but I guess its better then nothing at all.feel free to pm me or just hit me up on questions about it.860 808 4438
