Hi there folks.
Right, I'm calling on the collective knowledge of this forum for a major task! Well it is for me! I have just purchased a 1999 E320 W210 Mercedes and it has a phone holder attached to the center console. Now luckily it has not been screwed to the outside of the console but it has been secured inside as not to leave any screw marks outside. Now the question: How do you remove the center console in order to remove the holder?
It is currently attached to the inside side anel of the center console. It is a right hand drive car and the phone holder is attached to the left hand side. It is inline with the radio on the left hand side and is secured from inside. Doy ou have to remove the ashtray, then the center wood with the AC controls on in order to get at it?? If so, how do you remove the wood??
If anyone can help me here with detailed instructions, as I have been unable to find anything on the internet for it! Hope you can help me out!!
Kind Regards
Gary
