Removing the Rear Door Ashtray

Model: Mercedes Classe E W211 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Door trim panel

Removing the ashtray from the rear door panel is very simple. Just open it and then press down on the top to release the retaining tabs and pull it out of its slot. This operation is essential when you want to thoroughly clean the ashtray itself: once removed, you can wash it and eliminate not only dirt but also the unpleasant smell of tobacco that a vacuum alone cannot remove. After cleaning, it may be useful to fill the ashtray with odor-absorbing powder.
