Removal of Rear Air Vents
Any instructions on to remove the rear air vents of a W213?
From what I see there’s no screws just a pry tool required and everyone just pulls it off but mine won’t budge!
I thought these would be the easier to remove than the other 6, apparently not.
I got the top 2 clips out on top but it seems the bottom won’t budge and I think there are 2 more! What on earth am I doing wrong?
I am a fraction of a second away from having it snap into pieces from prying and pulling so hard
help?

Do you have pics or rear vents procedure? I'm willing to do the same with mine E220D in early spring but i can't find pics and tutorials of how to remove rear vents. Or can you provide more detail information of process ?
Thanks in advance

All documentation I was reading said “clips on” “just pop off” however on the 2019 W213 you pull out the ash tray (just the tray) and there is a hole at the back and there’s one small screw in there.
theres 2 clips at the top, 2 clips at the side and a small screw behind the ash try and you have to pull upwards because the 2 lower clips are diagonal.
It was a real PITA to get off and mild PITA to get back in after changing the vents.

I’ve looked at the Attachment
Yes, I’ve looked at it , but the part I’m stuck on is pulling the Unit out , which is A and B , I’ve taken the top 2 clips out but can’t manage to pull it up and out it’s till stuck to the Car, I’ve tried pulling but it don’t want to pull to hard and snap it .
