How to Remove the Center Armrest of Mercedes-Benz E200?

[JonathanFitz]

First, open the center armrest and remove the cover pad to reveal two 10# screws, then use a 10# tool to remove them. There is a notch at the position indicated by the screwdriver. Use a plastic pry tool to remove the cigarette lighter cover by leveraging the notch as a breakthrough point. There is a plastic clip fixing the innermost side of the armrests on both the driver and passenger sides. Use a tool to remove them. First, shift to the N position, then pull upward firmly to separate the gear lever from the gear lever core. However, it cannot be fully removed yet as it is still secured by the gear lever cover plate. After removing the gear lever cover plate, you will see two self-tapping screws. Use a screwdriver to remove them and then store the screws properly.
