ML350_Colin Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I would want to ascertain if it is necessary to remove the centre console as a whole or whether it suffices to only replace the armrest lid, which has become detached. The Mercedes W203 Avantgarde SE A 1.8, manufactured in 2007, is the subject of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortsmatt Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Based on my understanding, there is a similarity between the W203 and the W209 in this particular aspect. Under some circumstances, it is possible to only replace the armrest lid, namely the component that functions as a hinge and allows for left and right movement. The wiring for the telephone is located inside the lower lid, namely the section that swings in the front and back, in conjunction with the armrest lid. Removing the armrest lid and installing the replacement might be a cumbersome task. Mastering the art of using the various levers and pins in a precise manner requires a distinct skillset. One potential solution may include employing a second individual or using adhesive tape often referred to as duct tape. I am not cognizant of a straightforward approach; rather, it necessitates steadfastness and a copious use of profanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Have you experimented with the use of Dronsfield? It is possible that they may own a pre-owned item in their inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan8932 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The experience was distressing and unsettling. Only Microsoft Bill could transform a seemingly straightforward task into a convoluted and challenging endeavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt865 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Greetings, esteemed individuals - I apologise for the delayed response, but I have been indisposed due to illness. I am able to provide potentially valuable recommendations on the technique for refitting the armrest lid. I conducted extensive research on the topic, and it seems that there is a lack of official documentation about the technique for re-fitting the lid after it becomes detached. As a result, I have compiled a comprehensive PDF document that provides a detailed explanation of the aforementioned procedure. The document is included, with the expectation that it will be of assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt865 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Based on the fleet list provided, it is evident that there have been previous instances of W203 Coupes in your possession. What was your opinion on them? Incidentally, I am uncertain whether I have before encountered an EVO iteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML350_Colin Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Is there a method for identifying the appropriate auto part that is compatible with your specific vehicle, given the abundance of visually similar options that may vary in terms of fitment? I hope my query is comprehensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt865 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The PDF has been derived from personal observations of a certain vehicle model, namely the W203 from the year 2005. It is presumed that the characteristics of the sedan variant are mostly similar. Once again, it is worth noting that your automobile has a very recent vintage, which holds significance within the realm of automotive design. Consequently, it is plausible that some modifications or alterations may have been implemented in subsequent iterations of the model. I would recommend use the Google search engine, as I have done before, in order to maybe provide favourable results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
