How do you remove the vents, wood trim, and HVAC unit? Does it come out as one piece?

Yes, that's the piece. I have a slight rattle at idle and when I just begin to accelerate coming from the front vent area. It almost sounds like leaves are stuck in the vent, not sure.
Are there any tricky areas to watch out for when I remove that piece?

Thanks!

Are you a trained automotive professional or just a talented do-it-yourselfer?

I (hobbyist) managed to swap the seat covers on my C-Class but I think that S-Class would be a bit more tricky...

Regards, L

Here is how to remove it. Only losen the srews in the red circles. Then just "click" it of by Pulling it out carefully. Done.

Finally the right wood panel in place here as well.

side window blinds
Your car did not have the rear window blinds and you were able to install them?
How much would that cost in parts? US dollars?

Chris - why not just buy a new S550? or S600?



Unless of course you like spending 1450hrs. in your garage.
