Trying to get the interior trim out of my car to wrap in cf.. I cant figure out for the life of me how to remove the 12v socket in the ash try.. Someone help me

 

Hmmm. I did this not too long ago, but for the life of me, I am not 100% positive.
I think the electrical clip comes off at a 90* angle from the back. Once the clip is off, the socket pops out from the front side. HTH

 

just plug it out of ur butt hole hahahaha

 

Thanks for your help

 

Noticed you like to make fun of people on the forum so wanted to give you some of your own medicine kid

 

Not really sure what your talking about guy

I can take it though

 

Strong grasp of the English language is strong....

In all seriousness, reserve your stupid answers for stupid questions.

 

Back to the problem at hand. Is it that you cannot get the electrical plug off the back of the lighter housing or you cannot get the lighter housing out?
Take a pic of where you are at and we will get 'er done!

 

I can't get the plug off the back of the housing. It looks as though there are two clips in the side, and I take a screwdriver and try and pry it out, but it feels like its going to just break. All I'm trying to do it get the whole ash tray piece out so I can wrap it. I don't care about getting the entire housing out. Just disconnecting the wires is all. Ill take a pic tomorrow.

Your the man Lowpro

 

Do not pry it straight back. It pulls off to the side, at 90*. If you cannot get it off over the weekend, I will pull mine apart on Monday and send you a pic.

 

Was trying to pull it at the wrong angle.. I got it now though

Thanks for you help low pro

 

Just pull it to the left?

 

…I have removed the vent cover (vertically upwards) and the air guides inside - but all attempts at removing the flip console with power outlet have eluded me. Any thoughts/ tips?

 

Since your going thru all this effort to remove your interior trim, why not send it to OCarbon and have them hand lay real carbon fiber on it, instead of some fake wrap.
I paid $750 a few years go to have mine done, and it outstanding.

 

For your more basic models:

For the ML350, GL, etc my research revealed that there is only one man in the world interested in telling others how he did it.

 

I did a small writeup with some pics for my CLS55, which is probably very similar (if not identical)
