Does anyone know if this part from MB would replace the lower instrument panel on the Crossfire, the plastic is falling apart close to the ignition lock:

Lower Cover - Mercedes-Benz (170-680-15-87-7211)

 

 

How do you remove the air vent nozzle? Does it pull off?

 

How do you remove the air vent part around the light switch?

 

eventually managed to remove the bolster. as easy as you can imagine.
thanks to you guys who provided the solution the easiest way!
now to work on attaching padding to the areas where still i can rub my legs by chance.
will tell how it went.

 

already am enjoying getting in without more wounds.
i dont have words to thank you who provided the short cut.

 

as still there are some hard areas where we can hurt, i decided to do something. traced templates of those areas and cut them from a rubber mat and glued them with lepages contact cement.
the mat i found at walmart is this: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/hometre.../6000196605405. i know it is really memory foam because the knives loose sharpness in a moment, but the results are rewarding. the largest runs all along the area where the bolster was located; another is a half moon at the left edge of the console, where my right knee rests; another at the area behind the **** that adjusts the mirrors, and another covering the lid of the storage compartment. these 2 cushion my elbow when i rest it.
now i can move freely without the worry of geting more pain!

 

Thanks Howard. Much help in dropping the bottom panel on the way to removal of SCREEM unit
