W211 Glove box release push button

[Mohnish]

The area around where the key is inserted on the glove box release push button is scuffed (paint pealing), proabably on account of rough use by the PO.

I need to remove to remove this unit so that I can prepare and paint it. Don't want to do a masking job in the interior for obvious reasons.

Can someone tell me how to remove this part?

Thanks in advance.

they are about £5-8 from the dealer... just pull it off and put a new one on...

Same problem on my '54 E270.

After seeing reply from Jaymanec, ordered one from MB Bristol; 7.70 + vat. Will collect tomorrow and should be easy to fit. Cheaper than repainting in the long run!

Anyone need a slightly damaged surround for Palm Gray interior?
