Stuck cubby
Okay, on my W211 E63 I use this pop out cubby (circled) as a storage for coin change. Recently, it was stuck so I pried it open, and it works fine, but now it won't close completely as if a coin or something is stuck behind it.
Does anyone know how to remove it? Or does the entire glove box have to come out in order to access it? I stuck my fingers in there, and I can't figure out how a coin could get lodge behind the drawer.
I'm looking for solutions.....

Does no one even have a comment? Well, I'm going to see Eddie at Benz Elite Automotive on Tuesday, his W211 E55 and my E63 basically share the same dash, so he shouldn't have any issue with diagnosing my issue.

Well, just got back from Benz Elite Automotive in Fairfax, VA. I met with Eddie, who was able to fix my issue, after extensive research. The issue was in fact coins that were wedged behind the accessory bin, that is what MB calls it.
Eddie used a few flat head screwdrivers and managed to free the bin. And no further action was needed. But all the literature he found lead to possibly removed the glovebox, possibly the head unit and dash panel.
But Eddie kept digging, and figured out that he doesn't have to remove all those things, when it's the bin that will not closed, and he finagled it out, and found .26 cents stuck behind it. Problem solved.
