Hey guys,

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to remove the wooden (plastic?) dash trim from a 2000MY S320. Is it just a push fit or do I have to get behind it to undo screws/bolts/etc.?

If I do manage to remove the trim will it give me access to the latch for the glove box? Mine won't open :(

So, how does the panel at the end of the dash come off? I'm a bit wary of damaging it.

Really??

I've spent over an hour trying to do this - how the heck can you see what you're doing in there? It might be by lack of near sightedness but I it's bloomin' dark and I can't see what I'm supposed to be hooking :(

Gonna have to wait until the weekend for another try :)

Thanks for all the help Malcolm :)

Take off the under dash kick panel and all light in there, or just lower it.

I will take a look to see if the glove box can be removed with lid closed, buy I doubt it.
