    Tried this but after a bit of tugging the keys pull out of the slots. Then don't seem to grip as good as before. Any more advice ?

    W220 inst panel removal

    Anyone help ? ( 2001 S280 W220 ) I'm removing my inst panel in order to sort a small electrical fault ( lighting ) and it seems to be stuck. I've fitted the genuine MB keys into the small slots ( left hand and right hand side of the lower inst panel surrounding ) but the inst panel just seems...

    Just remove the clamp without damaging it and leave it at the side of the road. The DVLA doesnt own the clamp, the cowboys that do the contract work for the DVLA do. Providing you dont damage the clamp there is bugger all they can do. Ive had to remove 3 off customers cars and when questioned...
