2003 E320 center console armrest repair??

I have a 2003 e320 and need to repair the leather on the armrest. Does anyone know how to remove the armrest lids on the 2003 e320? Or do I have to replace the whole thing? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ed

Epress655... did you find a solution? I am trying to figure that out too because mine is bubbling up and needs to be released glued. Any help is much appreciated.

My car is now twelve years old and the center console leather is finally starting to bubble on the passenger side. That was my pride and joy that it lasted that long. I need to get it redone, if anybody has any ideas!

I've seen armrest redone with nice looking wood. That would last 100 years.
Good project for hobbyist.
I already have snap-on wood imitation on deteriorating steering wheel, so hopefully somebody will make those for armrest sooner or later.
Sad MB is not doing good leather anymore. I just sold vintage bus conversion. 44 years old Prevost steering wheel is in perfect condition with black leather on it.
