Thank you for the replies.

I think I should have been a little more specific with my question. So here it goes again.

My 1989 300TE has a center armrest from a newer model (the one with the built-in console for the phone). Problem is, the spring latch that keeps it in the level "up" position is broken, so the armrest sgas down.

I have an original W124 center armrest from my car's year (no built-in console). It has a good latch though.

I want to swap latches from the good one to the broken one. So, how do I open up the latch mechanism to swap latches?

Thanks.
