I am way overdue to replace pads on my '95 E300D.

Before jacking it up, I wanted to inspect the jacking points, which led me to taking the cladding off the rocker panels. I discovered dirt and gravel, trapped by the plastic, but the jack points look good. Up front, I discovered that there is some damp leaves and what not trapped behind the metal, not making it out of the drain holes. It looks like getting at it would be easier if I took the plastic cladding off the front fender.

Having seen me work before, I urged caution and research before I break 15 year-old plastic. Now I am trying to find out how that fender cladding is attached. I don't see any screws for it in the wheel well, so I assume it clips or slides on. Any one have any details?

I'll take photos and post later so the next guy will have something to go on before diving in.

Thanks!
Tom Lynch
