[W126 Coupe] Wood trim removal

[Axel Wulff]

Mark,
 
I hope others will chime in for the dash pieces, but I do know how to remove the door pieces.
 
You have to remove the door panels and then unbolt the plastic nuts attaching the wood to the door panel.
 
- Remove the plastic cover under the door release and remove the screw underneath it.
- Loosen the seat adjustment swithch (make sure you don't drop the screws or shims).
- Remove the top screw of the door strap.
- Unscrew the two remaining bolts from the door armrest and remove it.
- Remove the frame around the door release and seat adjustment switch.
- Remove the chrome pieces from the top corners.
- Remove the screws from bottom of the door panel.
- Lift the door panel up about an inch and remove it from the door.
 
Good luck.Regards, Axel J. Wulff610-731-5453 Cellular610-572-4611 Home

Hi guys, (especially Dick).
I have been through the archives searching out wood trim removal procedures.
I have dealt easily with the gear leaver piece and the ash tray area seems easily done.
It’s the door and long dashboard pieces and glove box that has me a bit concerned.
 
It took me a while to find the capable guy over here in Australia – 50 years of antique timber matching and restoration.
He knew the car and model as soon as he seen the piece. He does not use stain only laminate and shellac tinted to match.
The result is stunning but makes the other pieces look sad – so all pieces are to be done and I will send a digital of the result for the records. 
 
Any assist on the timber trim removal would be much appreciated!
