Hi all.

Does anybody know if theres an easy fix to repair the clip on the inner armrest (the small flock lined tray immediately below to the top of the armrest that sits above the main cubby), of my 2004 CL500.

The clip has snapped and I still have the broken piece, I wondered how easy is it to get the top armrest/cubby lid off of the car as thats where the damage is?

I use the top armrest tray for my phone as its got a USB connection in there so I’m opening and closing it a lot.

Or is a replacement the only way to go and if so, are there any decent Mercedes breakers out there you might recommend?

Sorry to be a pain in asking yet another question, but any help would be much appreciated, I’m just trying to get my car to be as good as it possibly can be.

Many thanks.

Kindest regards.

It’s an utter pig of a job. Happened on mine, the solution is a new centre armrest cover and to remove it requires the centre console to be disassembled. Sorry!
