87 300d dash mice nest

Hi Everyone,

I recently posted about removing my lower dash panel and I received some great help as I found a nest and it helped get rid of 75%-90% of the smell. I still am getting the smell and I have learned from a member that I can also remove the blower motor from the wiper area in front of the windshield to see if there is a nest inside. Im hoping and trying to avoid having to remove the dash. Does anyone have any mice nest experience in this car in the dash area or from a similar MB that could give me ideas on other areas I could check so I dont have to pull the dash? I do plan on pulling the cluster to have the gauges fixed soon so I thought possibly it would allow me look into the dash further when its gone. Would removing and checking the center console help? If anyone with experience is anywhere near NYC I would be willing to drive if they would help me with this for a fee of course. Im allergic to the mice urine so any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Bob

pulling a w124 dash is really not that big of a deal. I have done it many times.

Once you do you will see plenty of places for nice homes in there.

Start by pulling the instrument cluster out (pulls out toward you, extend the steering first) and you can see quite a bit. Pull the glovebox also.
