First of all I`ll like to say this is a great website. I found out about it over at the Bekkers website and have been checking it out for a couple of days now. OK here`s my question I`ve recently purchased a 1987 300E this car is in very sound and great body condition, Missing is a right rear center window switch, How do i get the wooden console off to change the switch? I`ve read your advice to another member on the subject (300SDL) But this dosen`t seem to work for my 300E, could i be doing something wrong? Let me throw another on at ya. Sunroof worked great for a few weeks but now it seems to have gotten very lazy to a point that i`m scared to open it for fear it won`t close back. Is there any answers for this one (sunroof motor shot,Cable bad etc etc etc)?

There is a retaining screw holding the center wood down. It is located just under the carpet in the center carpet. After removing the screw, pull up on the rear of the wood and back on the front and it will come off.
As for the roof, let a pro do it. They are very complex and difficult to repair if anything major is broken or out of adjustment.

FYI, while you're down there, you might want to clean it up a bit down there. I had one switch that only worked in the down direction. When I opened it up, there were all kinds of crumbs and drink spills evident from the previous owner. In my case, I opened up the switch, cleaned the contacts, and now it works great.
