is change drawer in dash next to glove box button on E350 (2006) a problem to remove, as mine will not shut all the way as if something is stuck(coin perhaps) behind it or the spring that makes it slowly move back and forth is dislodged?

you mean the card slot/cubby? it is not meant to be used for coins and you probably have a coin lodged.

Tempting to put coins in it but they usually get stuck inside! i think its ment for sunglasses,i have removed it once bacause of stuck coins but i dont remember if i used brute force or what.
