How to Remove a W123 Dash
1. Pull all of the knobs and dials on the front of your dash. Place them in a safe area. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws attached to the heat vent covers. Lift the covers off and place them with the previously removed dials.
2. Open the glove compartment and remove the mounting screws that hold it in place. Pull the glove compartment away from the dash. Remove the remaining screws on the lower dash panels. Pull the dash panels away from the lower section of the dash.
3. Pull the face plate away from the front of the dash to expose the radio and its bracket. Use a screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws that hold the radio in place. Slide the radio and its bracket from the dash. Remove the electrical wiring from the radio and completely remove it.
4. Pull the bezel away from the instrument panel. Remove the screws on the panel and slide it out of the dash. Unhook the rear electrical connector and lift it out of the vehicle.
5. Remove the rest of the screws on the upper dash panels. Carefully remove the remaining dash panels. Take care not to damage the vehicles interior as you remove the panels.

How to Remove the Front Seats on a CLK 320
1. Press back on the seat position switch to maneuver the seat backward as far as it will go. Locate the plastic caps on the front of the metal seat rails on the floor. Using a flathead screwdriver, gently pry the caps off to gain access to the bolts.
2. Unbolt the forward-most bolts using a socket wrench. Place the bolts in a safe location. Using the seat position switch, move the seat forward as far as possible, making the rear bolts visible. Repeat this process to remove them as well.
3. Reach under the seat and unplug the wiring connector from the power seat control module. Unplug the cable from the heating element if your CLK 320 is equipped with heated seats.
4. Remove the seat from the vehicle. Repeat this process on the other side to remove the second seat. When finished, place the seats back in the car, reconnect the wiring and securely reinstall the bolts and caps.

How to Remove a Convertible Top From a 1990 Mercedes SL500
1. Start the car engine and put it in Park mode then roll down the windows of the car.
2. Sit in the drivers seat and look at the cars pillar which is on the outer side of your seat. There you will see a cable that is running all the way to the car top; this cable is actually connecting the car to the car top. All you need to do is unclip it.
3. Look on the right hand side next to the gearshift, you will notice a red button. Gently pull this button up, continue pulling it up for a few seconds until you observe an irregular blinking within six seconds of doing so.
4. Maintain complete silence so that you can hear the hard-top unlock from its four panels across the car top while you were pulling up the red button. This unlocking will result in the hardtop being elevated by almost an inch or a half.
5. Remove the top carefully.

How to Remove the Clock From a BMW
1. Remove the center console piece. The middle console piece on most BMWs has adjoining wood panel side pieces that will have to be removed before you can remove the center console piece, so open the glove compartment. The inner cover is held up by three screws and one rivet; remove these and then lower the inner cover to expose access to the back of the wood panel.
2.
Remove the four nylon screws holding the lower beige panel piece, followed by the four nylon screws holding the wood panel piece. Gently pull the panels off, being careful to not bend the panels.
3.
Locate and remove the two screws beneath the cup holder and OBD port. These will be hard to see so you may just have to feel for them. One will be a torx and one will be a Phillips. Make a note as to which one is which so you can remember when putting it back together. There will also be two retaining clips, so when pulling the area loose, be sure not to knock them behind the dash.
4. Remove the final four screws holding the metal frame. Two will be on the left side, one will be on the lower right either underneath or in the cup holder, and the last one is behind the OBD port.
5. Pull the frame out about 20 degrees from the right side. You should now be able to access the wires to the controls for the radio, clock, and air conditioning.
6. Reach your arm through this access area and locate the clips holding the clock.
7. Press the two clips together and the clock will pop out.
8. Disconnect the wire connector and remove the clock piece. Replace with the new clock and reconnect the wires.
9. Reinsert the clip tabs into place and push the frame back into place.
10. Tighten all screws back into place in the reverse order and realign the panels into place.
