Questioni have a 1974 merecedes 450 se and i was wondering if you had a rear door trim panel removal procedure?
AnswerI checked the 2 mercs we have of different eras and the corporate
thinking on door panels seems to be consistent. (I do not have
access to that particular model).
You should use plastic trim tools to lessen damage. You prey up the surround on the armrest
bar to reveal a screw or 2. Same for the door opening lever. The bottom of the arm rest
may or may not have trim hiding a screw. If not you pull up after removing the top screw.
Check the bottom of the door panel for hold down screws, if none, then the panel is held
in by the usual push pins. The sides are also held in by push pins.
If you make a mistake and break some inner plastic it can by repaired very well with
JBWeld... I have had to do this and it works amazingly well.
