The pics below might offer some insight into Peter's description. Don't take the screw completely out when removing the ashtray wood cover - just loosen it enought to slide it up and out.

The directions below indicate screws 5 and 6 are allen. I'm almost sure they are torque, at least on my older w140.



1) on selector lever console
press up and out with plastic wedge.
Ashtray housing
open.
Ashtray insert (2)
remove.
Screw (3) in ashtray housing
loosen with offset screwdriver.
Wood cover (4)
remove upward.
Screws (5 and 6)
screw out (Allen wrench WAF 4 mm , 2.5 Nm ).
Cover (7)
press toward rear and lift at front. Then pry out cover toward front and up.

NOTE: Danger of damage, do not use sharp tools!

Plug connector on switch
disconnect.
Cover (7)
lay down.
Reinstall
in opposite order.
