[W126 Coupe] Centre Console removal

[Mister McGoo]

Dan,
The manually controlled heater/fan system is rare in N. America.  I had a German import 380SE with that system (and no A/C) but in 150,000Km nothing had gone wrong and I never had to remove it.  I have worked on a 230C (W123) recently with manual controls similar to your car but not identical.  The turn switches for fan speed and air direction on "off" position pulled straight off exposing a nut holding the face panel.   I can't imagine yours being different.  BTW, the light switch is exactly the same, but takes a good tug.
