hey there my blower motor went on my 85 300sd, and i have the new motor but i just need some help on how to take out the panel under neath my glove box, i don't want to break it so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Quite easy four or five screws in the front panel one underneath on the right hand side close to the outside panel. Straight forward no chance to ruin anything. The fan sits in the black box under there..

I just bought the motor and changed over the fan. Much cheaper...

hey so i looked for every screw possible and its still not coming off!!! so frustrating... we're talking about the front panel that has the carpet on it right? underneath the glove box? is there any special way to pull it out after youve taken out all the screws?

If it wont come off, you probably haven't got all the screws out. Some of them are under plastic inserts... should be three or four in the plastic just under the front. Gently pry the plastic insert out and there should be a screw there. (Don't make the mistake of placing the inserts on your floor-mat when they often get broken) There are also some screws on the side. Once all the screws are out, the plastic cover should come right off.

Then, it's just a matter of removing the four screws that hold the electric motor in the fan housing.

the panel that has the carpet on it comes out tho right...

On my SD there is a plastic 90 degree screw on the transmission hump, turn it 90 degrees either way to "unlock", this with four other metal screws.
