Center dash trim piece removal
Wondering if someone could give me a hand...all of the searches come up with vague and confusing comments.......
I need to remove my center console wood trim pieces in my '04 W209.
Anyone have a rudimentary walk thru? Appreciate any help...

1. open ashtray
2. pull up on shifter console piece first. From front
3. Disconnect wires
4. Twist off bottom portion of shift knob and pull up knob.
5. Next remove ashtray. Use a small flat screwdriver to pull tabs towards rear. There are 2 tabs.
6. Look behind ashtray and you will see 2 metal wire clips. Pull these down with a hook or a small flat screwdriver.
7. Pull the wood trim out from bottom.
8. disconnect wires.
