O/T: '84 Mercedes 300SD rearview mirror

Anonymous-0 · May 20, 2009

I have to remove the rearview mirror and it's mount. There's a square mount screwed to the roof. The mirror arm itself has an identically sized square base. However, because it's the same size, I can't get to the screws in the other part of the mount. It's definitely two separate pieces, somehow snapped/mated together. I can wiggle the mirror arm/square base part about 1/8" front to back. Feels like a spring loaded, snap it together kind of thing. But I don't want to break it, and don't know if it takes a special tool to separate the two halves.

I have both Chilton's and Haynes manuals for this car, but neither one has any information about the mirror.

Opinions and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Anthony

The older M-B center rear view mirrors are snapped into place and snap out as well. Just takes a good solid TUG to pop it out and a good solid SHOVE to reseat it. This was true for the 116,117 and 123 chassis cars. The mirror is retained by a dual spring loaded pointed pin setup
I worked on them until 1980 so cannot tell you for a fact that an '84 is that way, But knowing the Krauts they Still have not changed it!
