Mercedes W212 | Remove Storage Compartment & Repair Lid

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

How to remove and repair center console storage compartment cup holder ashtray lid for Mercedes-Benz W212 E-Class sedan and estate 2009 - 2016 procedure its almost same for all W212 models.
According to mb manual recommend to turn spring tensioner wheel 180 degrees but think you may try 360 as you can se in this video it not doing that much but now it closes without help. Be careful when remove cable från spring wheel if you loose tension you may broke it.
Some also say you should put grease in the rail, and some say not because it going to stick with dirt. If you got same problem you may try out some other things to get it to glid better. Going to replace trims and panel in the car later and need to remove this lid again then I figure out a better solution.
When working with this kind of panels you only should use the right tools to not damage anything. You find links in the comment section. If you got a better solution for this fix let me know in the comment thanks.

    Don’t worry you could make it at home that’s exactly what I done with all my pulling hooks in different sizes. I did use welding sticks that I bent, is really easy. You could use something else you got at home. If you not have any go to a hardware store and buy some small metal sticks 👍

    Thanks the pulling hooks are homemade from welding sticks, made some in various lengths and appearance. Is actually really easy to bend some old sticks into pulling hooks. The screwdriver is a standard TORX T20. When I get back on the laptop I send you links where you can get similar tools for this task 👍
