The map pocket is the most tricky to remove, because it is held in place by two bolts/washer/nut fasteners, and several clips. The previous owner of my vehicle apparently became impatient trying to remove it, because I found two rusty nuts and washers in the door frame, and broken bolt tabs on the pocket itself. I cant offer much insight into removing this portion, because I didnt have to. However, I used two flat head bolt and washer on the inside of the panel, passing through to the pocket with a nut in nestled in the bolt tabs, to secure it in place again.



Remove the arm rest by unscrewing two scres on the underside of the rest body. The both pass at an angle through the rest and into the door frame.






Now that we finished the easy stuff, we can get into the harder three accessories -- the window roll up lever, the corner window knob, and the door latch.

Unlike other makes, Mercedes did not use a c-clip around the shaft of the window lever to secure it in place. Instead, Mercedes used a c-clip inside the lever padding to hold it to the shaft. Slide a scre driver between the vinyl/leather padding and the metal body of the lever. Two clips secure it in place. To aid in the removal, push towards the crank knob to release the c-clip on the padding from the drive shaft of the crank.



Once the pad pops off, the handle and washer can be removed. Make sure you put the plastic washer back on during reassembly!
