Take a flashlight. It's dark up there.

I doubt this will work on the W123 due to the valance. I found that even better than the screwdriver was a seal remover with a round handle. The handle end comes to a point, which helps to keep the tool from sliding off the cable release mechanism. The trick is to hold the plastic grille release handle out while placing the tool through the grille and behind the release handle. This gives you enough room to push directly against the cable release, albeit at an angle.
