I did the same mod as full viet. used the amazon/ebay version and works like a charm. It takes a bit of force but it does come out.

How was the fitment on those? I had an eBay one before for my old E550 Coupe but it started peeling. I have a local bodyshop put a couple layers of clear coat on all my aftermarket exterior parts now.

Fitment was right on. You have to buy the right one which if I remember correctly is the one for the GLS.
