Thanks Ray. I am removing the dash based on instructions in my Haynes manual. However, in order to have the easiest possible removal of what I imagine is a fragile part, I also would like to see how MB says it should be removed. Ray, I was wondering if you have the MB instructions on how to remove the dash? Thanks.
