I need to remove the covers for the posts between the doors on my 85. the fabric is torn and needs repaired.
I need to remove the pannel above the dash that has the sunvisors in it on the 83. These both need to be replaced or repaired

How do they come off?
thanks

the B pillar should be just like the W123


remove the bottom cover plate and push the entire thing up. you will then have to unbolt the bottom mounting bracket for the seatbelt(remember which way the belt is so it doesn't look gimpy when reinstalled)


I did this with my seat removed in a w123


the forward headliner that is covered in mbtex... remove the dome light, remove the visors, remove the A pillar covers and rear view mirros( have fun with that.. search it).. then the mirror mount. After all of that it should push forward and down to remove.

I just removed the panel that the sunvisors are attached to last wed. so fresh in my mind.
open the sun roof and remove the 6 small phillip screws that hold the aluminium strip along the front edge.

Push back the door trim to expose a clip, one on each side.

remove the 2 screws that hold the sun visor. the sun visor clip has a plastic plug. use a very small slot screwdriver and pry it open. it is hinged on one side. you will see a phillip screw up in the hole, wiggle out the clip. gently pry out the dome light. remove the mirror, hit the stalk with your hand and it should snap out. or I have used a rubber dead blow hammer. then 3 small phillip screws for the bracket.

there is also the temperature sensor next to the dome light, but I think it fits in from the back side.

there are 2 plastic clips glued to the inside you can`t see, I pulled mine off but can be hot glued back on.
They slip into a body bracket, gently pull the panel toward you and they should slip out.

hope this helps, don`t remember how the other part comes off, been a few years since I have done that one.

How do you remove the "A" Piller trim, windshield post? with out damaging it.

Is there a trick to removing the "A" Piller (windshield post) trim. I think there is a couple clips, but where do you pull, pry or jimmy them off w/o messing them up.

I got most of the black trim out of a W126, but this has me stumped.
