1983 240D Wiper Grill
 

Is there a way to remove the fasteners that hold this grill on or do I need to drill them out?

Also anyone know what they are called or the P/N?
What about the boot? Can't seem to find that either and mine are a bit cracked.

Thanks all.

Two ways to remove it, pry the center section up and out, or with a drift drive it down and out.

The rivet is a two part affair.

Thanks.
Did you have a P/N?

They are reuse able. Like toomany said, drive out the centers
I use a small punch or small screwdriver. then with a small flat blade screwdriver gently lift them out.
The center section is a square peg, look for them when you lift out the grill.
Usually the one farthest from you will disappear. I think it drops down the rubber drain tube.

You can always get some from another 123.

A good deal of the plastic fasteners on these cars are like that.

Yes, part # 123 990 04 92.

The MBZ Classic Center in Irvine has them. They are different for the chrome grills and the black grills. Email Tom Hanson (thomas.hanson@mbusa.com)

Thanks all driving then through worked. Now to find the one center piece....

Can be tricky, good luck, keep us posted.
