Maybe I can hook a strap or something on the bottom and pull it out and maybe it will release. The inside release has popped for sure and the drivers side is loose the other side is stuck. On 9/12/2017 5:41 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: Remove front bumper to get clear access to lower left

Remove front bumper to get clear access to lower left side of grill surround, then create the wreck in reverse by pulling straight out on that corner... which releases said left lock Just thinking. On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 1:29 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote:
