I hope someone can help me out with this, after the dealer told me it was very complicated and not worth doing.

I have a '97 C36AMG with the stock AM/FM/Cassette head unit. The car came with the "optional" six-cassette tape holder that sits in the dash below the head unit. I've had the car since it was almost new (I got the car at 4600 miles in December '97), and I can't remember ever playing a cassette tape and have never, ever stored a tape in this unit. I'd like to replace the tape holder with the storage bin that would have been here had the car not been equipped with this option.

Any help describing how to get this thing out and what part numbers are required for the swap will be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Rob
