W202 Bow piece on the front dashboard

**pnsji** · 12-11-2003, 11:17 AM

So I got my CF pieces from MikeC200 and I still have not been able to figure out how to take out the bow piece.

From the front, if I remember, Steve told me to pull the right side, and then slide to the right.

Which means I have to pull (maybe using a string) like this picture

and then slide to the right.

But when I look at the back of it, this is how it looks like:

There is a screw with a base. The base might be slideable.

If I slide the front to the right, does the screw come off with the bow?
Or the screw stays on the dashboard and only the bow piece get slided out?

yeah from what i remember steve telling me you just pull the right side out and slide the whole thing to the right.

Let us know what you find out on the CF knob. My 43 has a "sport" knob.

ya please post some pics i want to see how it looks..

thanks !

**nokia8860** · 12-12-2003, 10:14 AM

pnsji: man i am so sorry for getting your thread all off topic

where you able to slide the bow to the right?

btw from what i remember the hole on your dash where the bow attach looks like a key hole ==O.

So you see when you slide the bow to the right you make the screw/bolt thing enter the larger part of the hole allowing you to free it from the dash.

lol

Apparently, our friend Mike give me the manual in german

after asking my german friend here at work:

14 = bolts
15 = clips
16 = "cone" (like door stop)
a = the distance for the nut
1 = bow piece

Using a "cone" (16), pry the right side and then slide to the right.
after the bow(1) is out, transfer the nuts from the original bow to the new bow. You have to keep the distance(a) to the new bow.

Thank you Mike!!!!!!!!!

Mike...you of all people should know better...if I say pull - then pull it is...there is NO nut there - just a steel clamp in the dash that holds on to the threaded stud in the bow...all other studs do have nuts and need to be shoved out of the keyhole shaped clamp...

PULL

greetingz,

steve you told me about that NUT there a while ago
I tought some models would have one nut there

So behind the bow piece there are clips:

except the very right one:

This is why you have to pull the right side and then slide.
