Removing the Glove Compartment

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Glove compartment

To remove the glove compartment, open the door and proceed to detach the interior light fixture by disconnecting its power connector. Locate the screws securing the glove compartment: two are at the bottom, beneath two caps, and two are at the top; then, unscrew the securing screws using a small screwdriver (the so-called 'nanetto') and pull the glove compartment forward to remove it. Once the glove compartment is removed, you can also carry out any necessary repairs on the device.
