W124 300TD Interior swap

[penybontboy]

Hello All,
I'm going to be swapping my W124 cloth interior for a leather one from a doner car.
Is there somewhere I can find instructions on the correct way of removing things such as the door cards, trim etc without damaging it?

Anyway, any thoughts/discussion/tips would be appreciated as always.

Regards PBB

I used the haynes manual but I found it quite easy to do with out as i replace some of mine

haynes is good info for a few things.

seats are bolted in - 4 bolts - one in each corner

door cards instructions here -

Great - with a Haynes manual and the above links I should get by. It's always best to have a clue as to where the hidden screws are!
Thank you both for the rapid replies.

Tip - whilst you have the interior out get the carpets up (which I assume are staying in the vehicle) clean them and dry them before putting them back.

good idea.... also a good time to check find the source of any water leaks.

Awwww more work!
I'm very lucky in that the trim is identical so only the seats and door panels need swapping.
Good tip about carpets/leaks. But I'm going to have to wait until my other half is out or it won't be just the car that's getting hoovered.....
