W124 Side Air Vent Removal

[S80]

Hi Guys,

I need to remove the side facia air vents from a '93 W124. There appears to be a small 'lever' or clip visible inside the vent, at the bottom. I've tried cautiously lifting/moving this - without success.

Rather than just wading in with ever-increasing pressure (which often leads to cracked plastic!), can someone tell me the correct removal procedure?

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, the picture is above but does not answer your problem

Maybe Bolide knows how to do this and will answer

Thanks for the picture Malcolm. Just to clarify, it's only the vent 'ends' - items 50 & 53 in the pic - that I need to remove, to get at the illumination bulbs.

Thanks, David.

Hi David, I did not think that there are any bulbs in those as they would be shown

There are 4 clips, 2 upper, 2 lower, and they all need to be released simultaneously before it can be pulled out. There is a bulb to illuminate the airflow thumbwheel

6 arms are useful for this job!
