Wood Rear Cup Holder Cover
I am looking at replacing my wood rear seat cup holder cover on my MY12 cab. Are these hard to replace and where does one buy these from?

By the time my car was built, they had eliminated the wood rear console cup holder cover and replaced it with a very cheap looking plastic cover. I found a used burr walnut one from an e550 on eBay and it matches the front console trim in my car perfectly. Swapping them out was very easy; to the best of my recollection, the process went something like this:
- Open the existing sliding cup holder cover.
- Remove the round rubber pads in the bottom and then remove the screws found below them.
- Pop the rear seat bottom up (the whole thing is one piece) and pull it forward to remove it from the car.
- From the underside of the console, you can easily disassemble the cup holder section and slide the rolling cover out.
- Installation is the reverse of removal.
