Lubrication and Assembly of Cup Holder Support

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Accessory kit

To carry out this maintenance, you need to be familiar with assembly techniques more than DIY: it involves disassembling a series of gears, tabs, clips, and plastic sliding guides. Once disassembled, clean all components thoroughly to remove any dirt that could hinder smooth movement. Lubricate with a petroleum jelly-based paste and then reassemble in reverse order, ensuring that all fittings align perfectly. Finally, perform opening and closing tests before installing the device in the vehicle.
