Instructions for Replacing the Front Wing

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Body

Often, if the dents have severely deformed the bodywork, it is not advisable to try to straighten and fill but rather to replace the component. To remove the front wing, first disconnect the bumper by removing the trim under the headlamp and unscrewing the wheel arch to access the pins that connect the wing and bumper. Then, open the front bonnet and unscrew the fixing pins along the closure line of the bonnet and those inside the door cut. Complete the removal of the headlamp to release the plastic tab and then remove the wing from its location.
