The spring loaded door that closes over the ash tray and 12v port will not close on my 2008 SL550. Is there any wisdom out there on how to get it to latch?

Thanks,
Brian

Get the center console "wood" cover of and you will have access to the latch (actually a spring with the latch). WIS attached.

Thanks alk247. Now I have a project.

Removing and replacing that trim piece isn't as easy as you think, but certainly not impossible.

I removed mine to repair it a couple of weeks ago. https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...im-floats.html

Search on YouTube for videos like "remove COMAND", you'll see how it's done.
