Anyone removed a dash in a S550?

5 local shops today turned down my request to have them remove and replace my dash. Wondering what gives... anyone done this job before? Is it that bad?


Any tips or write ups?

Been working on Benzo's since 2006..... never had the dash out of a w221. why do you need to remove it? You want to bring it to my shop in Houston, Texas? LOL. I won't turn you down!

This tint shop tinted my windshield and DESTROYED my nappa leather dash

I need to get estimates to make him pay but no one will do the job stating they are too busy for it.

What shop do you own? I would entertain the trip if I could get it done right and maybe squeeze in some other repairs.

If they just got water on it (and maybe some soap due to the solution they use), I'd have a detailer look at it first. The cost of finding a napa leather dash (if you can even get a used one) plus the massive labor to swap it will make it far too expensive to be worth it.

Find a good detailer or upholstery repair place and see what they suggest.
