Easiest Leather-Clad Piece to Remove in W210?
Need to get some leather dye mixed to re-do the driver side seat cushion. In the past I have removed a piece such as a visor or headrest and left it with the shop so they have it for color-matching at their convenience. I find this usually yields better results than by rushing them.
Anyway, in my W210 it doesn't seem I can easily remove a headrest. I found an old post with instructions for removing the rear headrests, but the pictures don't load, and the black tab I found ended up falling way into the recess somewhere. I also nearly cracked the plastic pieces surrounding the posts, so I decided to back off and put everything back.
On the front headrests, I'm used to the little bump in the seatback that you press to release the posts, but I'm realizing this W210 doesn't have that bump.
The visors don't exactly match the seat upholstery really well, so they're not a good candidate to leave for color-matching. I bought new floor mats at the dealer yesterday, and they told me apparently there is a multi-color scheme on the W210s with different shades everywhere. For instance, the leather is called mushroom, whereas the new floor mats I bought were called parchment. The material on the lower door panels as well as the knee-height fabric beneath the dash are what appears to be an entirely brighter shade of parchment altogether.
I could remove the rear seat bottom, but it's way too large to leave with the shot. Ditto for the rear seat back. And it appears the rear armrest doesn't come off without removing the seat back. The front arm rest is rubber-wrapped and doesn't match the parchment either.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! Help! What can I easily remove?
