Re: [MBZ] W126 Repair Proccedures Needed (PDF Format)
124, 126 (and later I assume) door panels have hooks, and are removed by bumping them up. As others have said, on the 126, if you pry out, you break the hooks and then are in trouble. Sometimes you have to bump really hard for a long time to get them loose. The armrest is held by hooks also. (unless it was like one of my cars where the PO had broken the armrest hooks, and I used long drywall screws to attach the armrest again.) At 11:44 AM 1/20/2009, you wrote: You may be right, Barry.
