c280 Instrument /Wood Panel Removal
 

I need to remove the wood panel to replace the Hazard light switch. I can't seem to get it loose and I'm wondering if there are special tools needed or if there is a special technique.

I had to take out the panel by the stick shift and I used an old credit card to move it up and down while pushing to find those clips. I also had to pull the panel as I did this and I was able to unloose all the clips and the panel came off. I THINK this should be the case with your panel. Hope it helps.
