1993 190E Under Dash Panel Removal?

[hornbrod]

Have to replace my stop light switch, but of course have to remove the drives under dash panel (knee bolster) to get to it. Removed the single screw in the rear I found and the nut under the carpet but is still fastened somehow to the dash. Hate doing things for the first time...........

Thanks; Don, 1993 190E 2.6

There is more than 1 screw holding it in place, Think there should be 4 altogether

Thanks for the reply Bazza. There are no other screws visible. I think on US models after 1990 they put in a "knee bolster" panel. Supposed to protect your knees in a crash. The damn thing sucks up all your knee room and if you have big feet like mine (12) it's hard to maneuver under there. If I ever get the damn panel off I go to my local yard and get the old 190 panel that had, as you said, four visible screws.
