Armrest Replacement
I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove just the armrest on the center console.
I have a 2017 E400 Wagon, I have damage on one of the armrest from the previous owner and I wanted to get it fixed/replaced.
I removed the rear AC Vents and got the springs and the bar taken off but the front of the armrest is still attached. I don't see any way to get the bar off on the front.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for those! Those will definitely help me later this week on my second project (replacing wood trim and touch pad)
I was able to figure it out and it was hell to get that bar removed. I had to use thin flat needle nose pliers and maneuver the bar 1mm at a time till it came off. I will post pictures and a video when I get done.

Do a search on YouTube on "2017 Mercedes E-class remove center console." There are bound to be as many how-to videos on the W213 as there are for the W212.

I did an extensive search and that video just shows to remove the whole center console(which is pretty damn useful) but I could not find a single video on anyone replacing just the armrest. I think the owner before me liked to leannnnn while driving lol the armrest has a huge elbow imprint and ripped through the leather.
