How Do I Remove The Chrome Bumper Molding on a 2006 CLK?
I just bought a 2006 CLK350 Convertible and I have a damaged piece of the plastic chrome molding around the rear bumper. I bought the replacement piece from MB and already have it. The rear bumper chrome molding consists of three pieces. The Center and a right and left piece. I need to know if anyone has removed the left piece before or if you know how. There are little tabs with wings that look like they either snap into a hole or slide into a channel. Don't want to damage the track or slots removing it. I have included a picture of the piece on the car that I need to remove. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See IF you can push the tabs through from the Inside..Under the car
Otherwise the bumper must be removed to change the inserts

So Simple!
Well, I got brave and gently pried the end of the strip up with a nylon pry tool and the tab at the end popped out. I was then able to slide the chrome strip back and completely out. The new one snapped back in to place in about 10 seconds. Problem solved!
