What..??? did i understand you right..?? wait… what..???
sorry... no no uhmmm…
i’m thinking something else must be wrong… if you’re thinking the lid doesn’t close unless you carve some grooves in the plastic for the rod…
come-on now… maybe this is just me...
but you think it may have been designed that way..?? to require you to cut grooves… NO
next... your question... do you need these rods or can i take them off? WHAT
with-out knowing for sure… of what exactly you speak of… i’m just thinking now... but could they be there for a reason..?? YES
and as Raymond said… we need pictures or MFG. info… yep yep..!!

Still no picture,Gomez. When posting a picture ,you need to put the URL of the image you want to post between these two icons 1.[IMG] 2[/IMG].Choose the word 'image' when creating your post,it's one of the choices above the box where you're writing the text of your post. It's how my car appears below. Good Luck

That's just the lock that the manufacture put in so that when they ship, the internal won't move or crack. Simply remove it.
flip it backward, twist a little, and unhook it. You will have to do that before you can install bulb and put the back cover in anyway.

After some investigation,and a call to the dealership (Ray Catena Mercedes Benz)in Union NJ,it's called an infrared receiver (obviously),and they told me it would cost me $400....

I checked out their website; for the E-Class series it only shows the W211 chassis; how do I determine what wheel actually fits the W210 chassis... or did you go to the 14mm lug bolts?
Thanks!

Richard,you'll have to go for the longer bolts,the OEM's don't fit,but I believe they give you a set with the rims. Please know I found the website AFTER I bought them thru EBAY. They were $500 for a set of 4. Let me know if and when you get 'em. Good luck....
