I have an 87 300D 124 body and I am trying to replace the small light in the gear shift that illuminates the drive letters. I have done extensive searches in the data base and have not found a way to remove the wood trim on this model. Enclosed is a picture of where I am at in the process. There seems to be two catches at the front of the wood trim that I cannot get at. The wood piece itself will not slide at all, either forward or backward at this point. Is there a screw under the carpet? Do I have to get that ash tray holder molding out? I really don't want to crack the wood trim.
