If it is similar to my 1987 300D Turbo (W124, OM603) -- and I don't know that it is -- the pod's arm is attached to the flap by an expanding plastic pivot point. There is no pin, clip, or fastener to remove, you just (carefully) lever the two parts apart using a thin-blade screwdriver.

For a picture, search for Sixto's thread "87 300D recirc and defrost pod replacement" and scroll down to picture #13.
