They had a W123 at Ecology? I haven't been to any of their yards in many years. I think they had two yards back then, one in Montebello and another in Santa Fe Springs. I used to go the SFS yard most often because it was closest to where I had used to live.
I used to see all kinds of good parts ruined at their yards because someone didn't know, or care, how to properly remove the part.
I've never removed the trim part but I think that you have to pop the switches out first.
